Ignite Boise | Boise’s best ideas in 5 minutes, 20 slides

All of us at Ignite Boise are constantly on the look out for ways to improve the event. This go around we’re going to change up how we handle sponsorships.

For the first the time ever our sponsors can create their own 30-second video that will play during intermission. Make them pro. Make them kitschy. Whatever. We won’t judge you. The point is to have fun and get the credit you deserve.

As usual, all proceeds go to off-set the costs of the event.  None of the organizers takes a dime for their efforts.

Standard sponsorship rates are $350. Or you can be a hero and be our venue sponsor – it well set you back $850, but we’ll give you all the love we can muster.

Interested? Got to our sponsorship page to learn more or just drop us a line.

BTW, the whole video thing wasn’t our idea. They’ve been doing it in Portland for awhile now. Check out these examples of what you can expect.

Well, the organizers are preparing to gather to discuss what we learned from IB|04. It’s something we do after each event. And as always, we want your input. This feedback is critical to improving future Ignites. (For example, we added the “public vote” of presentations based on feedback from IB|03.)

We realize that IB|04 including some booing/heckling that is totally out of character for Ignites. Not to mention a couple technical glitches that we had never experienced before…We know those issues need to be addressed.

But what else?

OK, so this is the 8th or so post on tickets, but it’s always the biggest source of confusion.  If you have questions about tickets, read the previous post.

IF YOU DON’T HAVE TICKETS, show up anyway!  We have never, ever–not once–turned away anyone who wanted to attend a previous Ignite Boise…never.  A line starts forming outside the Egyptian at around 6:00 or so.  Doors open to the general public at 6:30, and the show starts at 7:00.

Anyway, you’re already going to be next door at the Lobby for some tasty BBQ at @shermtv’s fund raiser/pre-func, right?

We just got a note from Brian Cooke who said that unforeseen circumstances will prevent him from presenting at IB4 (the Dog ate his presentation, or something). But despair not – Jessica Holmes will present instead. Her presentation “Cheep: Live well, cheap” will wow you as follows:

In today’s world, how can you live both well and frugally? Cheep is a concept and a lifestyle that combines creativity and coincidence to help people do more with less.
