I am proud to be a part of the inaugural Ignite Detroit! event taking place at the Magic Stick on February 25th. I first attended Ignite Lansing! last summer, and a few of the Detroit-based attendees and I decided we should bring the event to Detroit.

Ignite Detroit is a night of presentations with a twist. Presenting on a subject of their choice, speakers have exactly five minutes to enlighten and inspire their community using twenty slides that auto advance every fifteen seconds. Ignite is quick, fun, and smart.

We have officially launched the Ignite Detroit! web site and we are now taking submissions for presentations as well as looking for sponsors. Tickets are free and will be available after January 29th. Brandon Chesnutt will be the emcee for the event, and my band, Lune Noir, will be providing entertainment for the evening. I hope you will come out to support your community and stimulate the flow of innovative ideas that will one day save our city.
