Ignite DC #8
If you had five minutes on stage, what would you say to Washington, DC? What if you only had 20 slides and they rotated automatically every 15 seconds? On Thursday, October 20th at 6 pm, 16 artists, technologists, entrepreneurs, and philosophers will answer this challenge at Ignite DC #8. The event will be held at the techno-modern, funky, plush nightclub Town Danceboutique. It's a block from the 930 club and close to the U St metro. There will also be plenty of time to get to know other professionals, enjoy some fine libations or a bite, and really just enjoy the creative, world-changing ideas that are percolating in the nation's capital. We've sold out every event, and the last few times well-before the event. Please purchase your tickets in advance--they will NOT be sold at the door. Ignite DC is held at a 21+ venue. Please do not sign up if you are under 21.
