This looks good. And I am a firm proponent of pecha kucha talks (20 slides, 20 seconds, slides are auto-advancing, 6:40min total allowed time). I always try to stick to that format for my iHUB talks, but I think I am in the minority.

I also would like to point out that there are no &quot;key partners&quot; in your canvas from the NGO community. (Omidyar might be a crossover, as they funded GlobalGiving for 2 years, but their focus was on innovation, not do-good social change services). A survey of who attends many of these iHUB talks might reveal that a good portion come from innovation-hungry non-profit organizations. 

I use to iHUB as a place to bridge technology development towards my goals of improving civil society coordination and improved services to the people of the world. Tech developers sometimes forget that &quot;end user experience&quot; is important. TED was created to refocus on this, and my vision for iHUB is somewhat TED-like.

happy to discuss.
