There’s a whole lot of Igniting going on!

by Jeff Moriarty on October 21, 2008

Ignite Phoenix started out of a conversation I had with Josh Bancroft, one of the people behind Ignite Portland. There were a few cities doing Ignite around the country, and it sounded like a fun thing to try in Phoenix. I then connected with Roger Williams for the first Ignite, and from there we grew to now having a whole bunch of people helping to make Ignite Phoenix #2 a reality.

So I knew how fast Ignite could catch on, but I had no idea how fast it was spreading globally until I visited the main O’Reilly Ignite site this weekend.  On their calendar they now have (among others):

  • Ignite Boulder
  • Ignite Baltimore
  • Ignite Denver
  • Ignite Des Moines
  • Ignite Corvallis
  • Ignite Columbus
  • Ignite Salt Lake
  • Ignite UK North
  • Ignite Spatial (Sydney, Australia)
  • Ignite Bangalore (India)

The whole planet is getting the Ignite groove on, and I’m thrilled to be part of it!  Especially because I think Ignite Phoenix has some of the best lineups and speakers.  I may be just a little biased, but only a little. :D   If you didn’t make our first event, come on down October 29th and see what the buzz is all about.
