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.

On Thursday, February at 6 pm, 16 artists, technologists, entrepreneurs, and philosophers will answer this challenge at Ignite DC #6 -- with a focus on visions of the future. 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.

Tickets are not free as space is limited and we want the maximum number of people to enjoy some of the most passionate and interesting people in DC. But your money is not going to the organizers--it's just covering a drink and a snack for you. Last time we sold out the 345 spots, so again we want to make sure we can fill the venue with confirmed spots (and cover our costs, yikes!). So, get in now while there's room.
