Ignite Baltimore highlights zombies, nanobiotechnology, how to have fun

Audience members can look forward to learning about � well, just about anything � at the increasingly popular "Ignite Baltimore."

Excerpt:

"The fourth session of Ignite Baltimore, held Oct. 22, drew people to The Walters Art Museum to hear about such diverse topics as history, art, organic foods, wine sales in Maryland, how to survive a zombie attack, nanobiotechnology and much more. If you are unfamiliar with the Ignite format, speakers are given five minutes and 20 slides to talk on any subject they wish, so attendees are never quite sure what they will hear.

Ignite is a worldwide movement that started in 2006 in Seattle, Washington. I could not tell you how many cities are now sponsoring these events, but they seem to be happening from Sydney, Australia to Dublin, Ireland. Science geeks, take note: the Ignite Baltimore event was named "Best Nerd's Night Out" for 2009 by the Baltimore City Paper. The first Ignite was held on Oct. 16, 2008 and its popularity has grown so rapidly, that it might not qualify as a City Secret for long."
