The lineup of 18 presentations for Ignite Phoenix #7 has been finalized! We challenged the community to organize submissions around a theme for this event and you didn’t disappoint, Phoenix. We received over 80 submissions on a plethora of subjects connected to “The Art of _____”.
We had 5 people review the entries this time around, with a mix of both new and returning judges. The judges all picked their top presentations, and the results were consolidated to find the finalists. Once again, no two judges picked the same top presentations, highlighting the great diversity of ideas we have in this city.
Unfortunately, there were many fantastic ideas that didn’t make it in. We only have 18 slots, which means that there are always excellent submissions which aren’t chosen. If yours was one of those which didn’t make it, we encourage you to submit for the next Ignite Phoenix event…this is your passion, after all! Don’t keep it from the community just because it wasn’t selected this time.
And now, without further ado, here’s the lineup for Ignite Phoenix #7!
