These are the slides to my presentation at Ignite Montreal 2011. To maintain the light-hearted nature of Ignite and the humourous aspect of the presentation, two of the slides have fictional numbers. Can you guess which ones? Each of the original slides had an image, numbers and a word or two but I added a brief summary of what I said for Slideshare.
