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 for bettering future Ignites. Larkin crafted an introspective & articulate post that served as a catalyst for tweaking the Ignite Boulder concept.

Andrew posted his own thoughts as well as highlighting Larkin’s post in the process. Ignite Boulder 4 presenters and attendees commented on both blogs, and before you could say Brightkite Wall, there was a Planning Committee in place with a goal to take Ignite Boulder 5 to a bigger and better place.

We (the planning committee) feel we accomplished that goal. But tell us what you think, in case you haven’t already. Please leave links of other posts/links related to Boulder Ignite 5 that you’d like to share.

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 thank you to everyone for hanging in there through some of the changes. We are listening and making adjustments to make the next one even better.

-Andrew
