1. It never gets bet­ter. Almost always new­bies, look­ing to make their mark. Not much room for improvement.

2. It’s run by nearly the same peo­ple, giv­ing it a sim­i­lar look and feel.

3. It’s become lauded by the main­stream as a micro­cosm of the bur­geon­ing geek com­mu­nity, when really, it’s not.

4. It doesn’t allow for any inter­ac­tion between audi­ence mem­bers dur­ing the show.

5. It’s too short.

6. It’s far, far too easy to suc­ceed. With the entire audi­ence on your side, where’s the moti­va­tion NOT to screw up?

7. It’s very tough to find a venue that can han­dle the tech­no­log­i­cal needs of many of the audience.

8. It’s boring.

9. It sel­dom affects any­thing long term. Know any­one still talk­ing about their Ignite presentation?

10. It’s the low­est com­mon denom­i­na­tor for all the Geek­WeekAZ activities.

For those that love it, I would really like to know why.

PS…notice the “I” in the title. Just me. Not you. No one said Ignite sucks.

Oh, and here’s how I’d improve it.
