Ignite Amsterdam

On 6, 8 and 9 july Mediamatic organizes Map Fest. The event brings together kindred spirits to explore, create, define and oppose maps. Map Fest will be divided over three nights and shows that mapping can change your view of the world. There will be a wide variety of speakers, amongst others Annelys de Vet, Christian Nold, Jan Rothuizen, Theo Deutinger and Esther Polak.

On the final day, July 9th, Mediamatic will host the first Ignite Amsterdam event. Central theme of the evening is Mapping. The concept is easy. Ignite combines great ideas, the local community, a stage and plenty of drinks, to create thought-provoking, innovative nights. Participants get five minutes (twenty slides for fifteen seconds each) to show and explain their idea. During and after the talks there's plenty of time for a chat, a beer and a swapping of screen names and phone numbers.
