Without hesitating, answer this question: what are you passionate about?

Whatever your answer was, it was certainly something you can talk about it for 15 minutes, 30 minutes or an hour. It’s something you’ll stay up late for and you wake up excited about. So bring that passion to Ignite Phoenix #7!

Maybe you think that whatever you do doesn’t fit the theme “The Art of…”. So what? Sun Tzu wrote about the art of war. If war is art, then so is whatever you’re passionate about.

Maybe you think you’re not a good public speaker. Don’t let that stop you! Public speakers deliver big speeches and grand oratory. We just need you to speak from the heart for 5 minutes on what you’re passionate about.

Maybe you’ve submitted a presentation before and it didn’t get chosen. There’s no rules against resubmitting. Seriously, it would take one minute to copy your previous submission and paste it into the form.

Maybe you’re hesitant to present on something when you know it will be seen by people who are more knowledgeable than you. Does that matter? People who are passionate about something like to hear from others who share that passion!

Phoenix wants your passion.

Phoenix needs your passion.
