Tonight on the eve of the Web 2.0 Expo NY we will have 12 Ignite speakers who each get just five minutes on stage. Bre Pettis, the co-creator of Ignite will be hosting a cupcake decorating contest. Ignite is going to be at New World Stages (340 West 50th Street) where we are a guest of the New York Television Festival. They are providing us a ~400 person theatre and free beer (during the cupcake contest).

Here is the speaker order:
Jason Grigsby - Cup Noodle: Innovation, Inspiration and Manga
Jennifer Pahlka
- Technology Anxiety: Jello and Web 3.0
Krikorian Raffi
- holmz : open database for energy consumption
Sam Lessin
- A very brief history of privacy in our data-deluged world
Nichelle Stephens
- Cupcakes: The iPhone of Desserts
Don Carli
- The Carbon Footprint of Banner Ads, Emails and Websites and why you should care
Andrew Schneider
- Experimental Devices for Performance
Audacia Ray
- Porn as a front runner in technology innovations... With a twist
Kati London - plant's eye-view of manhattan
Gillian Andrews
- The Source Of All Stupid On The Internet
Deb Schultz
- Alley vs Valley
Nate Westheimer
- Magic at the Democratic National Convention

Here is a rough schedule for how the night will go.
7:15 Door & Bar opens
7:30 Cupcake Contest Begins
8:15 Cupcakes Contest Ends
8:45 Ignite Talks Begin
9:45 Ignite talks end; upstairs bar opens

If you plan on entering the cupcake decorating competition plan on bringing your own decorations. We will have some on-hand but if you are going to be the cupcake decorating champion of NYC then you'll need to bring something unique. You will not be required to use our cupcakes; feel free to bring your own.

Hundreds of people have RSVP'd on Upcoming or Facebook.

So excited for this! It's going to be a blast, especially the Cupcake Competition! Bre said, " I also have an epic amount of decoration materials including graham crackers cause I really hope someone makes the empire state cupcake. I think I have at least 20 pounds of frosting homemade with more butter and sugar in 5 colors!"
