Extra! Extra! Ignite Phoenix #12 Line Up and Ticket Sales

With over 90 submissions the judges had their work cut out for them, and even though we had tons of great submissions only 18 could remain. We’d like to give all of the people that submitted their idea a round of applause.

Without further ado, here are your Presenters for Ignite Phoenix #12! Give them a hand (or a tweet, a Facebook share, a G+, perhaps some Klout…)!

Again, we’d like to say thanks and give our appreciation to everyone who submitted. If your presentation wasn’t selected, we strongly encourage you to submit again. Please don’t feel discouraged – every Ignite Phoenix is different and we just flat run out of space. We know all of you are very passionate about your topics, so when submissions are open we would love to hear from you for Ignite Phoenix #13!

Also, let’s give a hand to our panel of judges. Without their deliberation and efforts, of which their time and dedication to the process we greatly appreciate, we wouldn’t have this fantastic line up for our May 4th event!

For those planning on attending, tickets go on sale April 14th, at 10am sharp! Set your alarms (set two!), have a friend call and wake you up. You don’t want to be late. Tickets for Ignite Phoenix 12 are $15. Yes, that is a slight increase from previous events, but please know that all money from the ticket sales go to covering the venue costs and other expenses for an event this size.

We look forward to seeing you and our amazing lineup of presenters on May 4th for Ignite Phoenix #12!
