Ignite Denver 4 - Wrap up

Ignite Denver 4 was a ton of fun!!

I think Casselman's was an awesome place to have Ignite. We've got room to grow, which is great, and the overall set up is just awesome.


It felt like the energy of the crowd was improved as well from previous Ignites Denver. The typical critics were there of course, what would it be with out them to cast bad juju? Overall though, the vibe was much better than before, I think that was great, and definitely a testament to the location, the presentations, and the crowd!

The presentations ran from the interesting to the funny to the "huh" which I think is cool. If nothing else, being different from "typical Ignite" presentations, isn't a bad thing in moderation.

The compilers played an awesome intermission set.


We had some cool raffle stuff, which was fun! Jared gave some art, Chris gave some shot glasses and dog tags

The master deck is below for anyone that wants to watch.

Also for the first time in Ignite Denver history, we're going to have video of the presentations thanks to Erik Boles of ChannelSnap TV. As soon as they're available I'll be posting them here, and submitting what I can to Ignite TV.

Thanks for everyone who came out to support us! It was a good time! See you next time!

Ignite Denver 4 - with Music!

So I wasn't really looking to book an act for Ignite, mainly because I know nothing about looking for, booking musical acts, and have no money to pay them.

Then my friends chimed in.

Past presenter Jun Heider and Scott Sheridan, and Eric Fickes have gotten together to form Divo... no wait that's taken, and those guys would look silly in red hats. They're the Compilers!

During Intermission at Ignite Denver 4, they'll be playing some tunes for us, which I really think is awesome! Like I said I wasn't looking for music, but when it drops in my laps, and it's people I know and think are awesome! Well it's hard to pass up!

So make sure you RSVP for Ignite Denver 4, we sold out last time, and Casselman's hold more people, but I'm sure we'll fill up, so don't dilly dally! Register now!

Ignite Denver - awesome 'how to give an ignite preso'

This came up on this magical mailing list that Ignite Organizers use to talk about David Hassolhof, er... never mind.

Anyway, Scott has an awesome write up on 'how to do an Ignite Preso'. it's good stuff.

Thinking about presenting, read Scott's post, then go submit a topic.

Haven't RSVP'd yet? Better get on it. We've got more room, but we'll probably 'sell out' again! RSVP Now!
