We are excited to announce that Ignite Phoenix will be returning to the gorgeous Tempe Center for the Arts for our fourth event on Tuesday, June 16th. The overwhelming turnout for Ignite #3 in February forced us to alter our plans, as we needed a venue that could hold 400+ people. Thanks to support from the City of Tempe and some generous sponsors, we will be in the TCA’s gorgeous 600 seat theater!

We are also going to be working with Young Collectors to help expand the range of talks submitted for Ignite. If you know of a group or organization whose members might like to participate, let us know!

Submissions are now open

Ignite Phoenix has come a long way since the the first “I Wonder If Anyone Will Show Up” event last August, and from now on our goal is have the next Ignite scheduled and posted as soon as a previous event wraps up. We will also open up submissions immediately, so you can submit an idea any time it strikes you. The only time submissions will be closed will be during the judging period right before an event.

If you have an idea you would like to submit for Ignite Phoenix #4, just visit our Submission Page.

RSVP and spread the word

Our event listing on Upcoming is now live, and we appreciate it if people can RSVP there to help us get a head count.

We’ve launched an Ignite Phoenix Facebook Page (moving from the old Facebook “group”), and also have a Facebook Event posted. Please join our page and share the event with everyone you think would be interested.

We’re also on Yelp, who was one of our sponsors and featured us in their newsletter last February.

Signing in on all of those sites helps us become more visible among those communities, so we appreciate any help you can give.

Thank you for your continued support!
