Intermission Interviews

Ignite Bainbridge Co-founder, Alex Sanso, elicits some feedback from the audience during the first ever Ignite Bainbridge evening, held May 16, 2012 at the Bainbridge Pavilion Cinema.

IGNITE is a fun, high-energy evening of 5-minute talks and socializing. The Ignite motto, “Enlighten us, but make it quick,” captures the spirit of the event. Speakers have only 20 slides, and 15 seconds per slide, to entertain and inform you!

IGNITE BAINBRIDGE (Island) was started in 2012 by Elisabeth Robson, Alex Sanso and OfficeXpats founders, Jason Omens and Leslie Schneider. Bainbridge Island is full of amazing and interesting people, and Ignite Bainbridge is a great way for you to meet those people and learn new things.

The first Ignite Bainbridge was held at the Bainbridge Pavilion on May 16, 2012 at the Bainbridge Pavilion Cinema, with a mixer before the event at OfficeXPats (2nd floor in the Pavilion).
