Ignite Ames is an exciting networking opportunity for technologists, DIYers, entrepreneurs, creative professionals, and enthusiastic knowledge seekers. Our mission is to spark imaginations, connect people, create new job opportunities in Iowa and have a lot of fun in the process.
We are looking for both people to talk and attendees. Whether you are an IT professional, Maker, independent entrepreneur, venture capitalist, web guru, motivated student, or just a big geek (like us), you are invited to participate.
If you are personally or professionally passionate about something and can give a 5-minute presentation that highlights:
{ innovation | creativity | humor | freedom | community | entertainment }
we want to you to contribute. Register on this site, and propose a talk!
