Call For Ignite Raleigh 3 Volunteers
By now you’ve heard the news – Ignite is back in Raleigh! We had a FANTASTIC time in Durham in 2011 but now it’s time to return to our roots, the place where it all started – the Lincoln Theater in downtown Raleigh! And we need YOU to make it all happen.
Putting on an event the size of a small town (no really, Maggie Valley’s population is 635) is no small feat (no pun intended). At least we don’t have to vote on a Mayor or Town Council or School Board or…you get the picture. The bottom line, it takes MANY hands to make Ignite a success!
Some of the olunteers from the very FIRST Ignite Raleigh. August 2009.
We are currently seeking volunteers to assist with duties on the night of the show (think registration, VIP services, maybe some tech assistance, etc.). Roles are being formulated as I type this. If you have a desire to be on the front lines of Igniting your city with passion and ideas but don’t feel like taking the stage, why not join our lively group?! It’s great for your resume, time commitment is minimal, and you never know who you’ll meet!
Lisa Sullivan, Volunteer Coordinator Ignite Raleigh. August 2009.
Our Volunteer Coordinator, Lisa Sullivan, would like to hear from you. If you’re interested, please email her directly at lisasullivan05@gmail.com by February 3rd. She’ll respond with everything you need to know.

Hi everyone! We are still so crazy excited from the big Ignite night in downtown Raleigh this week… we are so pleased with the way the event turned out. The team (Wayne, Jeff and Ryan) would like to thank everyone for the tremendous support! We are so glad the night was such a great experience for everyone.
Folks have been asking “when will the videos be posted?” We will post as many as we can, as quickly as we can. In the meantime, we encourage everyone to share their own videos, photos and blog recaps of the night. Please tag everything, “IgniteRaleigh” and this will help us discover all the great content recorded by the audience. This includes Flickr, YouTube, Slideshare, Twitter (isn’t Twitterfall cool?), Blogs, Media coverage; you name it. If you want to contribute to the growing list of Blog recaps and media coverage, please bookmark these in Delicious and they will be included in the widget on this post. For example, bookmark all Blog recaps with IgniteRaleigh + blog + recap. We will post all presentations on Slideshare. Some people have already done so on their own. Videos will be posted to Youtube and also shared on The Ignite Show – Raleigh page.
Here are the blog recaps so far….
We will be posting videos and slides soon (we promise) but need to balance this effort with travel plans for South By Southwest this week – and oh yeah, and did you hear Wayne is covering the Oscars live in LA?
Please share the love with our speakers and the community. Comment on the blogs shown here or join the community conversation in this LinkedIn group discussion. We really appreciate your comments. Thanks for sharing everyone!

Global Movement Spreads Through Raleigh
Ignite Raleigh 2 at Lincoln Theatre on March 3
RALEIGH – Zombies, women’s boxing, saving energy and relationships are all on the agenda at Lincoln Theatre Wednesday night as 19 presenters and 600 attendees take part in Ignite Raleigh 2, sponsored by Phonebooth.com. This free event is part of Global Ignite Week, a global movement to share and spread inspiring ideas, which is taking place this week in more than 60 cities on six continents.
“Ignite events originated in Seattle in 2006 as technology variety shows, but they have grown into much more than that,” said Jeffrey L. Cohen, partner of OurHashtag, LLC, which is hosting the event. “Ignite is about ideas that can change the world. And it takes less than five minutes to spread one.” Since 2006, hundreds of five-minute talks have been given across the world. OurHashtag hosted the first Ignite Raleigh at the Lincoln Theater last August.
The format for each Ignite event is the same: each presenter is given five minutes on stage to present 20 slides, which will automatically advance every 15 seconds. The goal for presenters is to keep up with their slides and present the topics in an engaging and concise manner. Ignite Raleigh 2 will feature presentations selected by members of the Triangle community, as well as topics selected by the organizers. Nadia Moffett, 2010 Miss North Carolina USA, and WRAL-TV Meterologist Elizabeth Gardner are two of the speakers who will present their ideas in the five-minute format.
“We had a tremendous community response to Ignite Raleigh last year and we are looking forward to an even bigger event in 2010,” said Wayne Sutton, entrepreneur, strategist and one of the organizers of Ignite Raleigh. “The presenters have a better understanding of the five-minute format, and the audience knows what to expect. This event will showcase some of the talented individuals and the diversity of ideas in the Triangle.”
The event is free, but attendees must have a ticket. For a complete lineup of speakers and topics and to print a ticket, go to: http://IgniteRaleigh.com.
