Now Accepting Proposals for Ignite Lincoln: Earth Day 2012

After a successful Earth Day special event last year, we’re doing it again this year, only better. If you have an inspiringly green idea, or an earth-friendly entertaining story, we want you to get up on stage at the Rococo Theatre in downtown Lincoln on April 22nd and give the crowd a fast-paced five-minute talk about it. We want to hear from you soon, though, because the final deadline to submit your idea is April 9th. Send us your proposal now.

The Ignite Lincoln 3 Speaker List

Last month, Ignite Lincoln asked local residents what they are doing to make our city a little more interesting. The challenge is: they only have five minutes to share their idea.

Now the speakers have been announced and will be giving their talks throughout the day on January 26th at the Bourbon Theatre. The event is free to attend. Come celebrate a distinctly Lincoln night along with the following fantastic speakers:

  • Steve Ramos—“Pinball: A Game Of Skill”
  • Shane and Sunny Dwyer—“Great Pictures With Any Camera”
  • Jane Garrity—“The Startup Visa: Helping The World’s Entrepreneurs Create American Jobs”
  • Calvin Pappas—“Silicon Valley To The Silicon Prairie”
  • Julie Beno—“The Secret Life Of Librarians”
  • Steve Maly—“Get Real”
  • Jordan Pascale—“The Evolution Of Reporting”
  • Shauna Groenewold—“And They Lived Happily Ever After”
  • Tanner O’Dell—“Attraction of Awkwardness”
  • Shane Farritor—“Becoming More Creative”
  • Brenda Ealey—“Intellectual Freedom”
  • Hope Edwards—“Serve To Lead”
  • Collin Caneva—“Turning A Headwind Into A Tailwind”
  • Brent C. Wilson—“A Foster Family’s Tale”
  • John Coffey—“Nebraska Sucks!”
  • The Colonel Mustard—“Modern Representations of Expressionism: In Freedom of Thought and State of Being”

We hope to see you there.
