Ignite Lincoln is an opportunity to unite our city for bold ideas, local pride, and a whole lot of fun.

Ignite, a program created by O’Reilly Media, asks the question, “If you had five minutes on stage what would you say? … Around the world people have been putting together Ignite nights to show their answers.” Ignite started in Seattle and has since spread to large cities across the globe. In April 2010, Lincoln was added to that list.

Lincoln has a diverse community, each group with their own traditions, cultures, and studies: entrepreneurs, artists, athletes, entertainers, engineers, geeks, professors, and the list goes on. There are so many unique voices waiting to share their excitement with our growing city.

See who spoke at Ignite Lincoln’s first wildly successful event, and watch their talks online.

Ignite Lincoln seeks to remain locally focused by allying our event with Lincoln sponsors.
