After several wildly successful seasons at Town Hall, the popular series returns with its simple premise: Enlighten us, but make it quick! Ignite Seattle is the largest open-submission public speaking event in the Pacific Northwest, bringing together an unexpected mix of fearless storytellers delivering quick-fire talks on a wide range of unpredictable topics from bug eating to how to learn leadership through burlesque. Each presenter gets exactly 20 auto-advancing slides and five unforgettable–and perhaps a little terrifying–minutes in the spotlight.

Presented by Ignite and Town Hall Seattle as part of the Arts & Culture series.
