Why Ignite?
Ignite was started in Seattle in 2006 by Brady Forrest and Bre Pettis. Since then hundreds of 5-minute talks have been given across the world. There are thriving Ignite communities in Seattle, Portland, Paris. In 2008 and 2009, Ignite communities have emerged in Baltimore and Washington, and now, right here in Annapolis!
