Event Recap: Ignite DC

by jimmy on May 16, 2009

As many of you who follow the blog are aware, there is a really cool energy settling on the local DC and surrounding areas.  It has been bubbling under the surface for a bit now, but lately it seems to have broken the surface so to speak.  This is in no small part to a small group of people to include Peter Corbett, Frank Gruber, and the organizer of Ignite DC (along with a great number of other things) Jared Goralnick.

On Thursday night I was lucky enough to be able to attend Ignite DC #1.  I wrote a bit about it here, but basically it is 16 speakers who have 5 minutes to get through 20 slides about a WIDE variety of topics.  I can not even begin to do the talks justice, but you can check out all of them right HERE.  It was a great combo of guests and the vibe was incredible.

Here are some pics I took from the event.

Make sure to keep your eyes open for another Ignite to take place in DC in the near future.
