Welcome IB|4 sponsors!

We’re kicking off the first Ignite Boise of 2010 with some absolutely great sponsors.

Our venue sponsor for this event is Great Western Barbecue Supply/Traeger Grills, headed up by @ShermTV.  Sherm was a presenter at IB|3. It’s great to see the community rally around Ignite in every form. The venue sponsor is very critical — all their sponsorship dollars cover the cost of base rent for the night of the event.

We’re  welcoming first-time sponsor Sybase iAnywhere, a provider of mobile enterprise, database and RFID software technologies.

The Urban Agent Team, whose motto is “We’re not your parents’ real estate company,” has also signed on for another sponsorship.

Please let these sponsors know you appreciate them. They are what allow Ignite Boise to be a free, community-based event.

We’ll be announcing a couple more sponsors in the coming weeks. If you’re interested in sponsoring (we only have a couple spots left), please let us know.
