Ignite 5 Program

The preliminary Ignite 5 Program is now available!

Ignite 5 will be held February 9th at 7pm during Global Ignite Week at Blau Auditorium. Register now!

We had 34 great submissions and it was *very* difficult putting the program together. Talks are selected by the Ignite organizers with the goal of creating a diverse, but balanced program of talks of general interest to the community that can complement each other.

Some former Ignite speakers have applied multiple times with multiple ideas before finding the right fit amongst a cohort of serendipitously complementary talks, and we rely on people in the community stepping up to the mic and telling us about their passions. If you’re interested, don’t hesitate to apply for the next Ignite!
