Last night panik attended the O’Reilly IGNITE North UK event at the NTI in Leeds. The format of the evening was twenty, five minute talks (each encompassing a series of slides that automatically rotated after 15 seconds), on subjects relating to different aspects of technology. Topics included:

• Perfection in Design

• Could hardware hacking save us?

• IT in Africa

• Digital graffiti

• The future of search

It’s worth visiting the NTI site for more information on the topics, as well as links to some of the speakers’ sites.

A live stream of the talks is available here, but stay tuned as standard definition edited footage will be available in a few days.
