While many things were said about Ignite Boulder 5 in the immediate hours and days following the event, we wanted to take some time to recap what was written, both by the Ignite Boulder 5 planning committee as well as the presenters & general public. We also wanted to reach out to you and ask you to help us make Ignite Boulder 6 even better. Us? Over-acheivers? Yeah, maybe just a little.
Ignite Boulder 5 went in a different direction than the previous Ignites.
Shortly after Ignite Boulder 4 Larkin Carey, shared his observations on that event along with suggestions
Thanks again for everyone coming out last night, it really was an amazing time.
We had just over 440 attend at CHEM 140 (seats 490). Our preparty with Deschutes Brewery was fantastic (kicking three kegs in just over an hour) and our postparty at Hapa kept everything going.
Our speakers were amazing, funny and gutsy.
A huge thank you to Rande, who handled all the venue issues. Kath was the resident mic wrangler, and Craig Kindal handled the video again (will post that shortly). Larkin lead the clean up charge, huge thanks!
This was the first big jump to a big event, so

Ignite Boulder is a night of presentations with a twist. Presenting on a subject of their choice, speakers have exactly five minutes to teach something, enlighten us, or simply inspire—backed by twenty slides auto-advancing every fifteen seconds. Quick, fun, and smart, we sell out the Boulder Theater.
Our ninth event is on March 5th, and you can see all of our previous talks here.
