Second Ignite Waterloo event is on for March 3!

Posted by Mark Connolly in Ignite Waterloo 2 on January 14, 2010

It’s been a little quite here in recent weeks, certainly in comparison to the activity around our first event. The cone of silence is now coming off, though, and we’re pleased to announce that Ignite Waterloo #2 is happening on March 3. Once again, it will be at The Children’s Museum in Kitchener. Details on speakers, registration, and other meaningful news will emerge soon, but for now mark that date in your calendar and let people know that we’ll be back soon!

Update: I should have mentioned that our local event is part of Global Ignite Week, which includes Ignite events around the world. How cool is that?
