Enlighten Us – But Make it Quick!

    Ignite is a night of presentations on a variety of topics, with a twist. Each presentation has 20 slides that automatically advance after 15 seconds. It is a worldwide movement.

    We bring Fort Collins geeks, designers, and hipsters together for a night of beer drinking and fun.

Here are your Ignite Fort Collins #9 Speakers!

The Ignite Fort Collins team knuckled down this week to pick 14 talks for Ignite Fort Collins #9! There was sweating, weeping, mashing of teeth – even arm wrestling. There wasn’t an easy decision in sight, but we all came together to make sure you’re going to enjoy the best Ignite Fort Collins talks yet!

Start Brainstorming… This Could Be Your Time

Ignite Fort Collins has been good to me.

It introduced me to the first people to become clients of my business, gave me a venue to unleash my inner Geek, let me vent my frustrations about the business world, allowed me to hear ideas I’d never been exposed to before, and give away a ton of awesome products from local businesses.

I’m incredibly honored that I have the chance to participate in this amazing Fort Collins event and I think you should join us.

You can be a sponsor. You can be a volunteer. You can give a talk. Or, you can just show up and bring everybody you know. Either way, I’ll give you a gigantic high-five.

Just don’t miss out – it’s unthinkable.
