Less than three weeks to go before Ignite 4, and we’re getting pretty excited putting the finishing touches on things. The slide decks are coming together, the lights, camera, and action are getting organized, and we’re putting just the right balance of art, geekery, and a few tricks into our contest plans…

We’ve got well over 100 people signed up to attend — let’s see how quickly we can get to 200! Have you got your tickets yet?

It’s the best show in town! An evening of smart, funny, passionate folks educating and entertaining. Beer! Zombies! Shooting garbage with lasers! Don’t tell me you learn anything this cool at school or at work…

Delicious catering from Little Mushroom, a chance to hang out and geek out with your friends — and meet cool new people! And don’t forget our fabulous, creative, and challenging contest, with a whole bunch of amazing prizes from our sponsors: MMIMAIA, Regional of Waterloo International Airport, Wonderful Waterloo, and Words Worth Books! Do you think you’re avant garde enough to take the top honours? What are the prizes? None of your business, nosey!

And all this for only $5? You can’t miss it. All your friends will be talking about it the next day and you’ll be all mumbly and sad because you were at home watching Jersey Shore or something…

We’re also jazzed to welcome Schlueter Automotive Group back as a sponsor, and a big thanks and welcome, too, to C Worthy Communications as a new sponsor. We are still accepting a few sponsors, so if your company or organization is interested in supporting and being part of the Region’s coolest geek culture event, get in touch!

Thursday, November 18th, 6pm, The Conrad Centre for the Performing Arts, downtown Kitchener. See you there!

PS. Plans are already coming together for the next Ignite event, which will be extra special as it’ll be taking place during Global Ignite Week! More to come…
