I attended an Ignite Seattle event last year, and nearly all the talks were pretty high quality. However, they decided to start holding it every 3 months and since then the quality has dropped a bit. The quality of talks depends the density of good speakers with interesting things to say around the location you are in. Seattle scores pretty high in that regard. Social-media types tend to take over every event eventually :). However, in the Seattle Ignite format, the focus is really on the talks and they happen in rapid succession, with a short break in between. Deepak
