Due to overwhelming response, this event is now "first come, first served". The first ~300 people will get in, then we have to close the doors (fire code). We can't hold guaranteed spots for people who RSVP'ed, and even if you didn't RSVP, if there's space, you'll still get in. See this post for more details.

What is Ignite Portland? A bunch of fast-paced, interesting presentations - 20 slides for 15 seconds each. Our mantra is "share burning ideas" - just about any topic will do, as long as it's interesting. From tech to crafts to business to just plain fun! There will be time to network and chat after each series of presentations.

Come join us for the first Ignite Portland! It's free to attend or present. We hope to have food and drinks, but we need sponsors for that, so check out http://www.igniteportland.com for details on attending, presenting, or sponsoring!

Unfortunately, we are not able to accommodate more than 297 people at the event, due to fire code restrictions. Admission will be based on a first come, first serve basis. If you cannot attend, we'll miss you! We will post video of the presentations at http://www.igniteportland.com.
