Ignite Philly
May 30th, 2008 by Geoff 5 CommentsWhen we got back from SXSW this March we felt even more inspired to collaborate with people doing inspiring things in Philadelphia. One of the first things we did was contact Far and Vanja of The Hacktory to brainstorm on this topic. When we got together Vanja mentioned the idea of coordinating an Ignite event.
We all knew immediately that Ignite would be a great way to bring together a diverse group of inspiring people in one fell swoop.
The basic format is that approximately 20 people speak on a topic for 5 minutes. They prepare 20 slides that rotate automatically after 15 seconds. It should keep things lively. And if the talks are not lively enough, it is happening at Johnny Brenda’s where plenty of libations will be available.
Speakers include: The iSepta guys, Kristin Thompson, of the Future of Music Coalition, NO CARRIER, 100K house, Pete Tridish of the Prometheus Radio Project, Alex Hillman of Indy Hall, and several more. The speakers are all doing exciting and inspiring things in Philadelphia.
Everything happens on June 11th. Doors open at 6pm. Speakers start at 7pm.
We hope you can make it.
P.S. We will not hold a Junto in June. Consider this our June Junto on speed.

Looking forward to this! We didn’t have all this going on when I was hanging Philly in the early 80’s and the only real medium was the “fanzine” and hanging posters on telephone poles. See ya the 11th…Jimmy CraicHead

Hi Geoff,
I am working with a few folks here in Phoenix to start up an Ignite and was wondering if I might be able to ask you a few questions.
Feel free to email me at halfacat@gmail.com.
Sincerely,
