Wow – it’s an understatement to say, we are very excited by the incredible participation from all of you in the Triangle community, and beyond. Our Global Ignite Week event is going to be epic. I know you are all waiting for the big results, so without further ado, here are the selected speakers for Ignite Raleigh 2!

The co-organizers of Ignite Raleigh, Wayne, Jeff, Kipp and myself want to congratulate all of the selected speakers. Equally, we wish to thank all of the people who submitted their ideas for consideration. We think there were so many great ideas in the batch. Now, it’s preparation time, everyone! (Don’t worry: Tips and guidance are forthcoming)

With dynamic featured speakers and this group of fun, creative, informative and though-provoking presentations, Ignite Raleigh 2 is sure to entertain and enlighten the Triangle on March 3rd. We can’t wait. Get Fired UP!

about me
about me Ignite events were originally conceived as technology variety shows, but they have grown into much more than that. Ignite is about ideas. Ideas can change the world. And it takes less than five minutes to spread one.
