Ignite Ames is an exciting networking opportunity for technologists, DIYers, entrepreneurs, creative professionals, and enthusiastic knowledge seekers. Our mission is to spark imaginations, connect people, create new job opportunities in Iowa and have a lot of fun in the process.

We are looking for both people to talk and attendees. Whether you are an IT professional, Maker, independent entrepreneur, venture capitalist, web guru, motivated student, or just a big geek (like us), you are invited to participate.

If you are personally or professionally passionate about something and can give a 5-minute presentation that highlights:

{ innovation | creativity | humor | freedom | community | entertainment }

we want to you to contribute. Register on this site, and propose a talk!

Ignite Ames will be held on Monday, April 25, 2011 from 7:00 pm - 11pm in the atrium of Howe Hall on the Iowa State University campus. The event is free and open to the public, but you must register as an attendee in order to attend or present. Most of the participants will be over 21 (alcohol is present), but ISU Dining Services will be carding before serving, so minors are welcome if interested.

Ignite as an event concept began in 2006 in Seattle, and now they are worldwide. See example talk videos at Ignite Show and a more background on the concept at the O'Reilly Ignite Site.
