Date change to Nov 6th

Ignite 2 will be on Friday Nov 6th at Blau Auditorium. We unexpectedly had the original date un-confirmed, but were able to secure the space for this new date. We’re sorry for the confusion and hassle to everyone involved.

We’re very excited about the event and hope you’ll help make sure people are aware of the date change. People who have already RSVPed on eventbrite will be emailed and asked to re-RSVP.

We’re sorry for the inconvenience this has caused everyone, especially our speakers. You guys have been very flexible and we appreciate it.
