First Ignite Bainbridge a huge success
Posted: May 17, 2012 Filed under: Information Comments Off on First Ignite Bainbridge a huge success
Ignite Bainbridge 1 was a huge success. It was a fun-filled evening of bunny pictures, pig pictures, engineering diagrams, minor technical difficulties, beer & wine, and even a little singing! We’ll be sharing the videos soon, but in the meantime, some thank yous are in order.
We couldn’t have pulled this off without a lot of help:
- Thank you to the wonderful speakers who dared to climb on stage and share their passions for 5 minutes; you’re the reason we put on and attend these events.
- Thank you to our amazing volunteers! We couldn’t have done this without you and we can’t thank you enough. You took care of everything from lights, sound, video recording, to selling & taking tickets, tweaking the presentations, and making sure the beer & wine were flowing.
- Thank you to all of our generous sponsors. Again, without you, this event wouldn’t be possible. You let us keep the price for this event low (where else can you have this much fun for only $5???) so that more people could enjoy it.
- Thank you to our community and attendees for supporting the first Ignite Bainbridge!
If you were inspired by the Ignite presentations and have a burning passion you want to share with your fellow Bainbridge Islanders, then submit your proposal for the next Ignite Bainbridge. Keep an eye out on this web site for information about when that will happen.
