Paul Getty Museum Tim Svenonius @TimSven Producer, SFMOMA Don Undeen @donundeen Manager of MediaLab, Metropolitan Museum of Art Chad Weinard @caw_ Luis Marcelo Mendes @lumamendes Get the conference started vintage-style with Ignite MCN at the Virgin Mobile Corona Theatre. Built in the heart of Montreal's Little Burgundy neighbourhood in 1912 during the silent movie era, the theatre is the only one of its kind to have survived almost unchanged inside and out. As a modern-day creative centre for the performing arts, what better venue than this to host the collective creativity of MCN. Ignite MCN will showcase a series of rapid-fire, five-minute talks from some of the most provocative thinkers in the museum field. The talks will follow the "Ignite" format, in which presenters have five minutes and 20 slides (which advance automatically every 15 seconds) to enlighten, entertain and inspire. The event will feature nine speakers, sharing their experiences in a wide variety of disciplines.
