Event: IgniteDC Looks to Light Up DC

A little over a year ago I was looking into the Ignite series put on by O’Reilly and thought it would be great to bring it to DC. I looked into the process, but as happens a lot, life and other stuff got in the way and it kind of fell off my plate. I was very excited last year when Mike Subelsky of Otherinbox asked me to be a speaker for the inaugural Ignite Baltimore event. It was a really great experience and vibe and again the thoughts of a DC one popped up. Luckily others in the community are not so lazy in the duties as I, yes Jared you know who you are, and they got together and finally put it all together.

In any case it is all has all been lined up. There are more spots left for $20 tickets but other than that, it is SOLD OUT ! The speakers list looks incredible as does the guest list.
