It’s been a minute. We’re wondering if now is a good time to gather together again for Ignite talks.

Would you take a few seconds to answer a short, 3-question survey?

Ignite Minneapolis is open to everyone. There is always free beer. All talks are 5 minutes (20 slides x 15 seconds/slide).

IGNITE MINNEAPOLIS IS POSTPONED

Friends, we're sorry to report that we must postpone Ignite Minneapolis, which was originally scheduled for May 24, 2018. We're in a financial pickle, and we're currently too short-staffed to make the necessary preparations to put on the event.

The next Ignite is slated for October 1. In the meantime we will continue to accept talk submissions.

NOTE: Tickets will not go on sale April 13 as originally planned. Watch your email or this page for ticket announcements for the October 1 event.

HELP WANTED

We are seeking volunteers who want to help us run the day-to-day operations of Ignite Minneapolis. In the coming weeks please watch your email or visit the Ignite Minneapolis website for details on how you can become a part of this memorable event.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT

We want to thank all of our email subscribers, social media followers, past attendees, speakers, sponsors, volunteers, and enthusiastic supporters for all their efforts to keep Ignite going. We can't do it without you.

Passionate thought leaders and storytellers will take to the stage at Ignite Minneapolis this Thursday, May 11. Their talks vary widely – from mugshots to biomimicry to Madonna – but they all share one thing in common: these speakers have guts. It takes guts to get up there and talk about ideas. Especially ideas that are new. Ideas that carry deep meaning. Ideas that might even feel dangerous to some sensibilities. You should come to this event. There's nothing else like it. Tickets are on sale now. Get 'em while you can!
