Tickets for this event are sold out. A limited number of standby line tickets may be available at the door. Ignite is back! This popular, off-the-wall public-speaking series returns with its simple goal: “Enlighten us, but make it quick.” Since 2006, Ignite communities have thrived in Portland, Sydney, Boulder, Baltimore, NYC, and elsewhere. Presenters are asked: If you had five minutes on stage, what would you say? What if you got only 20 slides, and they rotated automatically after 15 seconds? Touching briefly on a variety of topics, from the DIY community to parent-educator relationships, and presented by anyone and everyone, Ignite events are all-ages, fast-paced, sometimes-unpredictable, and always thought-provoking.

Travel advisory: The Northwest Flower and Garden Show is happening at the Convention Center this weekend, so there may be changed traffic and parking patterns around Town Hall.
