Support us: invite your friends!

If you like the shows we put on there are easy ways to contribute to what we do. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit we appreciate all the support we can get in promoting our shows and bringing more people to our events.

Just a minute or two is all it takes. Here’s what you can do:

  1. Are you coming? Invite your friends and community to join you. Our events are great for groups, since there’s a pre-show social activity and a long intermission for drinks and conversations.
  2. Have a friend who is speaking? Tag them on social media and ask their friends to attend with you to cheer them on.
  3. Need a morale event at work? We’re an inexpensive way to bring a group together for a fun and memorable night of “edutainment.”
  4. Out of ideas for date night? We’re a great experience for dates, more interactive and cheaper than a movie, plus our shows are great conversation starters (“what was your favorite talk and why?”). Here’s our recommended list of nearby places to eat before the show.

To help you help us, you can copy and paste this to your social media:

Join me on Thurs., October 26th for an evening of fun and inspiring talks at Town Hall Seattle. There’s a bar, easy social activities and more. Tickets $10/15: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/igniteseattle/873846

Hope to see you and your friends at our next event.
