Laughter. Crosswords. Perhaps not natural bedfellows, but Kaz Pasiecznik sweet talked them under the sheets in our third barnstorming talk at Ignite Bristol #2, “Cryptic Secrets - Unlocking the Crossword”.

Eyebrows on the front row were raised when Amy started waving about her “prop”, but just what risk is satisfaction? The temperature raised at Ignite Bristol #2 with our second talk, “Toxins in your sex toys”.

What a way to start Ignite Bristol #2? Martin Poulter returned to the Ignite Bristol stage and sent ideas ricocheting around our heads with a little talk he called “What is Bayesianism and why should you care?”

We’re on!

Ignite Bristol #3 will take place on 31 October 2010, once again at the Tobacco Factory Theatre.

Since last week we’ve had plenty of ideas for talks, but we want more. And yes, we know it’s Halloween so if you have a spooky idea for a talk we want to hear it just as much as all the other great ideas you’ve been sending us. The deadline for submission of ideas for talks is Sunday 26 September and we’ll be announcing the line up soon after.

We’ll be announcing more details over the coming months, but in the mean time, keep checking in to ignitebristol.net to catch up with the videos from our great talks at Ignite Bristol #2.

And don’t forget to tell us what you think of our events - the feedback we’ve received so far is helping us shape events in the future.

Thank you!

We had a great time on Thursday. The buzz on the evening was that we got things mostly right, so we are pleased, but as promised, here is a feedback form so you can tell us what you thought.

We’re already setting our sights on Ignite Bristol #3 and hope to have an announcement for you all soon, so keep coming back. Penny and Oliver are going to be hard at work on the videos and we’ll be adding them on here as they become available.

If you missed this great evening, keep coming back to Ignitebristol.net over the next couple of weeks to see the talks for yourself.

A glass that is always half full. The anatomy of a crisis. The Lindy Hop. The triumph of social knowledge. Ignite Bristol #1 was diverse and stimulating - just like #2 in two weeks time. Watch this website for announcement of the last batch of tickets, being released on Monday 7th July.

Huge beer crate constructions. Driving in the middle lane. Rowing the Atlantic. A bullet that comes back to you….more brilliant slides from Ignite Bristol #1
