You came, you saw, and we hope you were inspired. Months of work culminated into almost 3 passion-filled hours. And the Ignite team wants to recognize everyone who helped make it happen. We know there’s a lot more to talk about, and we’ll be doing that here in the next few weeks, but as we recover from last night we wanted to say thanks.
Please give a big shout out to all our presenters (congratulate them!), our sponsors (visit them!), and our volunteers (thank them!), without whom Ignite #6 would not have been such a success!
