Wait.  Why?

We received a lot of good submissions from Boise’s finest about their personal perspectives and experiences.  They’re really good, except that is the vast bulk of what was submitted: personal perspectives.  And Ignite a good forum to share a perspective, but a GREAT Ignite event is one with variety.

In short, we need Boise to mix it up!  Share your expertise.  Educate and challenge our city.  A good story is fine and good (and IB7 will have plenty of them), but we need stuff to twist our brains a little.  So, fire up the engine and…

Submit your burning ideas about:

  • technology
  • how-to
  • history
  • food
  • something I’ve been working on
  • did you know…

We already have lots of submissions about:

  • funny/weird/interesting things that happen to me
  • how amazing my kids are
  • my personal/religious/political views

We’re only going to open submissions for a few days, so submit now!

Here’s your chance to speak at IB7.

Are you one of those people who have a great idea for an Ignite Boise presentation, but always seem to miss the deadline? Here’s your chance to change that.

We’re now accepting submissions for Ignite Boise 7. And we want you to get involved. Sure, there are a few simple ground rules…

  • No sales pitches
  • One speaker
  • One mic
  • No props
  • No videos or slide animations
  • You submit, you talk (no subs or ringers)
  • No audience hand-outs
  • No Barry Manilow

…and no guarantees that you’ll be selected this time around. BUT if you show passion, brilliance and/or a modicum of an original idea, you likely have a great shot. Try it.

To submit, click on our SUBMIT A TALK link and fill out the form. It really is that simple.
