Our 30th Ignite event is Thursday, May 26th, 7pm/8pm at Town Hall Seattle. Tickets $5 at the door or in advance (we frequently sell out – buy tickets early. Or NOW. Really).
Doors open at 7pm, with a cash bar and a fun (optional) social interactive game (you don’t have to play, and since there is a bar you can stand and drink and make fun of the people who do, but we suspect you’re more likely to play than you think).
Talks start at 8pm, with an nicely sized intermission halfway through for you to do various acts of biology and sociology, including getting more drinks.
We received more than 55 talk submissions. Many were excellent. But since we are restricted by the laws of physics we had to pick just 16 speakers for this event (If you have supernatural powers beyond the laws of please volunteer: we can use you).
Here is the glorious list of amazing speakers:
- Landing the Job I Never Wanted, Tammarrian Rogers
- What If Life Were Like Stock Photography?, Jesse Baker
- How Chefs Save The Planet, Jonathan Merrill
- Slang is The Mother of Invention, Remington Purnell
- I am Your Muslim Neighbor, Amanda Saab
- The World’s Smartest House?, Ian Mercer
- How To Gig Economy, Sarah Squire
- Fantastic Bees and Where To Find Them, Nicolette Neumann
- Tiny Particles Can Change The World, Charlie Corredor
- BlueFin Tuna are Badass Fish, Mark Vande Kamp
- An Engineer’s Guide to Being a Foster Parent, Kevin Moore
- Preparing to Write a Novel in a Month, Erica McGillvray
- Hack Mentorship with Twitter, Emily Carrion
- That’s What He Said, Katie Chase
- The Skin We Live In, Fes Naqvi
- Why The World Hates Millenials, Cameron Barnes
- (Speaking order TBD so don’t presume this is it)
Looks like a great night, yes? Get your tickets here.

Hi there! HUGE supporter of this and I am so excited for this upcoming session. When I was browsing through the amazing topics and speakers, I remembered one that was presented about two or three sessions ago and wondered if there was a way to go back and access it. Do you guys archive these? Specifically, if was a male speaker (pretty comical) who used a picture of a man picking apples as a metaphor on life struggles.
I hope you all can help me find it again! 🙂
Thank you,
Allie Giuffrida
