At your own risk

Monday, April 16th, 2012

This Thursday is Ignite Boise 8, and it’s bound to be a lot of fun!  People will share their ideas, we’ll all hoot and holler, and the beer will flow like wine.

But proceed with a hint of caution.  Ignite is not designed to be a strictly family-friendly event.  Lot’s of people bring their kids, and all ages are unequivocally welcome and encouraged to come.  We’ve even had an 11 year-old present before, and a 12 year-old will kick things off this time around.

Parents considering bringing young children to Ignite Boise — please keep in mind that Ignite can be a PG-13-ish event. While we remind the presenters that children may be in the audience, at Ignite:

  • Speakers may use what some consider “foul” language;
  • Speakers may discuss “adult” topics (e.g., drinking, sex, other “adult” subject matters); and/or
  • Speakers may even include images in their presentations that some might find objectionable.

Because of that…parents should consider whether their children are mature enough to attend. The good news is that everything at an Ignite is fleeting.  If you don’t like what you hear, just wait 5 minutes and it’ll be done.

So, as always, attend Ignite at your own risk.  Ignite is YOUR event.  It is composed of and attended by members of our community (i.e., you).  We organizers have limited influence over what makes it up on stage; we really don’t know what’s coming much more than you do.

That being said, hang on and enjoy the ride!  We’ll see you Thursday at the Egyptian.

Mia McLenna to give Ignite 101 talk

Thursday, March 29th, 2012

For the past few events, we’ve asked an Ignite veteran to give the “What’s Ignite” talk that kicks off the evening, and gives the crowd a quick run-down of what to expect. We affectionately call this talk “the 101.”

Super-rad speaker, Mia McLenna has agreed to kick off IB8! At age 12, Mia is the second youngest speaker to grace the stage at Ignite, herself being the youngest when she outlined what her clay monsters do all day while she’s at school at IB5. She’s sure to blow the doors off again at IB8!

Thank you IB7 sponsors.

Ignite Boise only happens because of a dedicated group of volunteers and a generous slate of sponsors. Their work is what keeps Ignite fun, engaging and free.

If you have the chance, please thank our sponsors. Support their businesses. Give them a nice (yet appropriate) big hug. Or at least, check out their website. Somehow, please just show them you appreciate their support. We couldn’t have Ignite Boise without them.
