Let the presentation submissions and voting begin!

 

As presentation talks start to roll in you have up to 10 votes to vote on the topics you would like to see at Ignite Raleigh. We recommend visiting http://voting.igniteraleigh.com/ often in the next couple of weeks to review submitted topics and vote for your favorites. After submitting your own topic, encourage your friends and followers to vote for your presentation.

We want  everyone to focus on Ignite presentations that teach something and have social value, but are open and creative. The presentation submissions and voting deadline will be July 20, with the top 10 vote getters speaking to the community. We have already scheduled Ryan P. Allis, Co-Founder and CEO of iContact, the leading provider of email marketing tools for small businesses, to speak. Allis was named by Business Week as one of the “Top 25 Entrepreneurs Under 25 in 2005 and named Ernst & Young’s Entrepreneur of the Year for the Carolinas in 2008. He speaks on entrepreneurship, finding and following your passion, marketing, and social entrepreneurship, and we are looking forward to his Ignite presentation.

 

The fun-filled night will also include musical entertainment. On schedule to perform are North Carolina-based comedy duo, Rhettt and Link. These musicians, filmmakers and “Internetainers” are best known in this area for the BBQ song.
