Just before the DuPont Theatre heads into their fall season of Broadway shows, Ignite Wilmington will take the stage!
Same as before – Speakers get 5 minutes to go through 20 slides (which advance automatically every 15 seconds, whether you are ready or not, just ask IW1 Veterans) Mark Mobley of the DSO will again lend his golden voice and whitty charm to the event as the MC. 6pm start time for mingling. 7pm the talks start.
IgniteWilmington@Gmail.com has received some interesting speaking topic suggestions. Keep them coming!
In addition to the speaking ideas, we have also received a few emails that we may have already won a boatload of cash in an overseas account. If that comes through, we won’t need sponsors, but just in case, please let us know if you want to get your brand in front of a bunch of artsy-techie types.
Tickets available now. Still free! Last one sold out, with over 120 people attending. Lets see what we can accomplish with IW2.

I hope everyone has cooled down from the hot and humid inaugural Ignite Wilmington. Between the speakers, the crowd of approx. 120 fans and the outdoor temperatures, we were close to igniting more than we bargained for.
Want to host Ignite Wilmington #2?
The buzz from IW1 was tremendous. Lets keep it going with the next one! We are hoping to have it in mid-October. Most Ignite events across the country are held in restaurants or bars, where the establishment can make a little money off of 120 people descending upon it with their thirst. Anyone who is interested, or has a restauranteur friend who is interested, please email us at IgniteWilmington@gmail.com. The location will strongly drive the exact date.
Want to speak in Ignite Wilmington #2?
If you think you can follow IW1s closing speaker, Ken Grant, with his perfect ‘How nerdy are you?’ talk, please let us know. Submit your talk ideas by September 12th to IgniteWilmington@gmail.com. Five minutes in front of a fun supportive crowd is all it is, just ask any of the IW1 speakers 
Want to sponsor Ignite Wilmington #2?
Want to get in front of a bunch of people passionate about Wilmington’s creative community? We will be looking for some sponsors to help defray costs. You get props the night of the event as well as in the emails leading up. Nice way to demonstrate to those around you how committed you are to the Tech/Creative community brewing here in Wilmington!
