About

Thanks for checking out Ignite Boulder! We are a volunteer-run geek event that puts on startlingly fun events.

What is Ignite Boulder?

Ignite Boulder is a night of presentations on a variety of topics – with a twist. Each presentation has 20 slides, that automatically advance after 15 seconds. It is a worldwide movement, and Boulder hosts one every 2 or 3 months.

What is it like?

The talks are funny, interesting, nerdy, quick and from the heart. It is NOT a place to pitch your business or yourself. Here’s an example of what we look for:

What is the ticket for?

The ticket gets you in and makes sure we have a namebadge and seat for you.  Our glorious sponsors help us make it happen – their logos can be seen on the right side of this page. (Feel free to give them a click to learn more about them!) There are quite a few costs associated with putting on an event this large (our audience ranges from 850 to 1,350, depending on which venue we are rocking). We have no plans to raise the price for future events. $10 sounds reasonable, so we’re sticking with that.
Can’t afford it or rather barter for your goods? Drop us a line and we can maybe have you volunteer for your ticket! We only have a limited number of volunteer spots available for each event. Contact kath@igniteboulder.com for more details.

Interpreters

In order to make Ignite Boulder even more accessible, we provide ASL interpreters for the deaf and hearing impaired. They’re an incredible addition to our event, and we’re immensely grateful for their work:
