What is Ignite?

Ignite is a high-energy evening of 5-minute talks by local people who have a burning idea and the guts to get onstage and share their personal and professional passions. Quick, fun, thought-provoking, social, local, and global – Ignite is all of these and more. This Ignite is focused on all things tech.

What new ideas could make the world of tech better – for engineers and consumers alike?  Speakers are from the local Portland community with representatives across many verticals – we want to hear from you!
