Take the Stage at IGNITE! During ACCESSE25
We’re lighting up the IGNITE! stage at ACCESSE25, and we’re looking for bold, brilliant voices from the STEM society community to spark inspiration.
.
What is IGNITE?
It’s a high-energy presentation format where each speaker shares their passion—personal or professional—through 20 slides that auto-advance every 15 seconds. That’s just 5 minutes to enlighten, engage, and energize the audience.
.
The IGNITE! motto says it all: “Enlighten us—but make it quick.”
Whether you want to spotlight a big idea, a unique experience, or a fresh perspective, IGNITE! is your chance to shine.
The deadline to submit a proposal is Wednesday, May 28. Curious about the format? Check out previous IGNITE! talks.

We can’t wait to see what you’ll bring to the stage. For questions or more information, contact Elizabeth Carney, CESSE Senior Manager, Operations, at [email protected].
