How To Create a Scene in Austin, Texas - Discover, Express, and BE YOURSELF • @bijoy

What makes Austin Austin? How it is different than other cities? What is the Austin scene? How would you describe it? Bootstrap Evangelist Bijoy Goswami's presents "The Austin Equation" at IgniteAustin. Bijoy addresses these questions and many more concerning community, experience and urban living.

What is Austin's unique ambition? Keep Austin Weird? Live Music Capital of the World? Silicon Hills? Austin is all of those things because it's an "Open City". It's an "Experience" city. Austin is a city that encourages people to Discover, Express and BE YOURSELF.

• BOSTON: Be Smart
• SILICON VALLEY: Be Powerful
• BERKELEY: Live Well
• NYC: Be Rich
• LA: Be Famous
• DC: Be an Insider
• AUSTIN: BE YOURSELF!!!!!

Communities operate on social exchange, not market exchange. Austin is incredible at "Social Exchange".
Experience + Community = Scene

AUSTIN, TEXAS: A Scene, A Community, A place to be yourself.

What is Ignite!? - It's fast-paced, fun, thought-provoking, social, local, global and more. It's a high-energy evening of 5-minute talks by people who have an idea—and the guts to get onstage and share it with their hometown crowd. Run by local volunteers who are connected through the global Ignite network, Ignite is a force for raising the collective IQ and building connections in each city.

The rules? You have 5 minutes and 20 slides to tell your story, share you passion, and hopefully enlighten the audience.

Ignite Austin? Ignite Austin brings together an inspiring and unexpected blend of thinkers from business, art, technology, government and academia. All with ideas. And all willing to share them.
