Welcome back Ignite Phoenix readers. In this week’s installment, we’re announcing our presenters for Ignite Phoenix #13!
We received so many amazing submissions that we could have easily doubled this list, but alas our judges had to narrow it down to 18. Now, no more waiting: here are your presenters for Ignite Phoenix #13! Share the love (the usual places: Twitter, Facebook, skywriting…), and send them your congratulations!

Again, we’d like to say thanks and give our appreciation to everyone who submitted, and we’d like to give all of them a round of applause. If your presentation wasn’t selected, don’t be discouraged! We receive so many amazing presentation ideas each time, and it’s always rough having to select the final 18. It’s obvious all of you are very passionate about your topics, so when submissions are open we would love to hear from you again for Ignite Phoenix #14!
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 amazing group of presenters and presentations for our October 26th event!
Planning on attending? Tickets go on sale October 6th, at 10am sharp! Yes, that’s eight days from now. (We’re counting down, aren’t you?) We recommend having a friend call and wake you up. Try setting an alarm. You don’t want to be late. Tickets for Ignite Phoenix #13 are $15.
We look forward to seeing you, and the presenters on October 26th for Ignite Phoenix #13!
