As if it hasn’t been said enough… Great Job Everyone! For my first Ignite event, I wasn’t sure what to expect… but I enjoyed the hell out of it and can guarantee I’ll be at the next one! All the presenters kept me engaged and the organizers deserve a HUGE pat on the back. Nice work ladies and gents.

I almost skipped going since I wasn’t feeling well, but I’m so glad I didn’t. IgnitePHX was just the energetic boost I needed! Met some great people and heard some exciting, interesting and hilarious presentations.

Great job to all the presenters and organizers. Looking forward to the next one.

Can wait for the next one!

I hadn’t even heard of Ignite Phoenix a week before I submitted my presentation, so it was a shock and a thrill to be selected as a presenter. I had a great time, and the event went smoothly. Kudos to everyone who worked so hard to make it happen!

Lord Solar loves Ignite!

Thanks Ignite staff for putting on the event and the audience for being so supportive. I had a great time presenting, and I hope everyone takes the opportunity to submit an idea for next year.

I should add I was the one that presented “Phoenix Flows” about water fountains and the abundance and scarcity of water.

Great event! I really appreciate having the opportunity to be a part of it. I was one of the idiots who leaned on the light switch – sorry about that!

I definitely didn’t appreciate the Phoenix bashing. Whether you think Phoenix is great or not, I’m sure you can’t build a healthy community by tearing other communities down. I’d actually love to see more of the Roosevelt Row, Grand Ave and downtown Phx crews involved here. Contact me if you want help with that for the next event. (Or finding a larger venue – maybe the Orpheum? It’s owned by the City of Phoenix.)

During my presentation, I mentioned Canalscape, and you can follow along with that project on twitter: @canalscape.

Thanks again to the sponsors and organizers – great event.
