Ignite Phoenix

November 3, 2009 69pmIgnite Phoenix 5Tempe Center For the Arts
Ignite Phoenix is an amazing opportunity for the local Phoenix-metro community to share its most passionate ideas. In one evening, you will hear 18 amazing speakers talk about 18 diverse ideas for 5 minutes each. It’s a rapid-fire experience that aims to inspire, educate, and entertain—and it’s definitely an event that you shouldn’t miss!

Ignite Phoenix lineup announced!

We are thrilled to announce the final list of presentations that will form the lineup at Ignite Phoenix on August 12th! We had an incredible 28 submissions across a wide range of topics and deciding on the final lineup was much more difficult than we anticipated.  A group of people with different degrees of technical,  entrepreneurial, and artistic focus reviewed all of the submissions to make the final list. We think it represents a great cross section of topics, and the event should be an enormous amount of fun.

I want to thank everyone who submitted an abstract for a talk.  Especially in this first event, which is new to all of us (including me!), they stepped up to support the idea and the community that Ignite Phoenix is trying to bring together. It is exactly that willingness to get involved and share that provides strength to the growing communities in the Phoenix area.

Next up, the presenters are getting their slides together, and you should visit our Upcoming event link to RSVP.  You wouldn’t want to miss this great show!
