Ignite Phoenix

Ignite Phoenix started out of a conversation I had with Josh Bancroft, one of the people behind Ignite Portland. There were a few cities doing Ignite around the country, and it sounded like a fun thing to try in Phoenix. I then connected with Roger Williams for the first Ignite, and from there we grew to now having a whole bunch of people helping to make Ignite Phoenix #2 a reality.

So I knew how fast Ignite could catch on, but I had no idea how fast it was spreading globally until I visited the main O’Reilly Ignite site this weekend.  On their calendar they now have (among others):

• Ignite Boulder
• Ignite Baltimore
• Ignite Denver
• Ignite Des Moines
• Ignite Corvallis
• Ignite Columbus
• Ignite Salt Lake
• Ignite UK North
• Ignite Spatial (Sydney, Australia)
• Ignite Bangalore (India)

The whole planet is getting the Ignite groove on, and I’m thrilled to be part of it!  Especially because I think Ignite Phoenix has some of the best lineups and speakers.  I may be just a little biased, but only a little. :D  If you didn’t make our first event, come on down October 29th and see what the buzz is all about.
