We’ve had tremendous interest in the event and only 18 spots for presenters. If your talk is not selected, don’t despair! We are planning another Ignite event this fall, most likely with an open theme to accommodate a diverse array of great ideas.
Thank you for being part of the positive change in our community!
Anyone interested in being involved in Ignite Michiana is welcome to attend the first planning meeting. Committees will be formed! We will meet in the SB Brew Werks and do a brief tour of the State Theater to envision how the event will come together.
