Ignite is hard to explain to the uninitiated. A dozen or so speakers present on a variety of topics but they only get five minutes on the stage. Oh, and their required twenty slides automatically advance every fifteen seconds. The crowd might cheer or jeer but everyone has fun.

Oklahoma's first Ignite event (pictured left) was held in the fall of 2009 in Tulsa and was a great success. Oklahoma City raised the bar on January 14, 2010 with excellent event at the Lyric Theatre.

The next Ignite event will be held in Tulsa on March 4th at the Blue Dome Diner in downtown and will be featured as part of Global Ignite Event.
