I am pleased to announce that our new presentation proposal submission site for Ignite Portland has launched. Do you want to present at Ignite Portland 2? Now is the time to submit your idea for consideration. The new system allows anyone to review proposals as they come in, including an RSS feed. Check it out!
Ignite Portland Presentation Proposals
Many, many thanks to Igal Koshevoy at AutomateIt for donating his expertise and time to build the presentation proposal site for Ignite Portland - very cool.

We Love Our Sponsors!
They buy us food and drinks (along with the boring stuff like event insurance and AV costs)! We had ~300 people at the last event, and we hope to have more at this one. Ignite Portland is only as good as our sponsors - our ability to provide food, beverages, etc. is only possible because of the generous sponsorships of local companies! If you are interested in sponsoring, contact Todd Kenefsky (kenefsky at gmail).
We Need Presenters!
We will have the presentation idea submission form up soon, but for now, start thinking about an awesome presentation that will wow the audience in 5 minutes with 20 slides that auto advance every 15 seconds!
Volunteers!
These events would not be possible without a group of loyal volunteers to help staff the registration desk, run the presentations, and make the event run smoothly! Josh Bancroft is our fearless leader for this event, so contact him (jabancroft at gmail) if you are interested in volunteering at this or other Legion of Tech events.
Ignite Portland (the original)
If you missed the last event, take a look at the videos and presentations on the Ignite Portland site. After seeing them, you WILL want to attend this event!
The gears have started turning, over pad thai and pizza, and Ignite Portland 2 is on its way to becoming a reality.
We won’t publish the details until we have them locked down (date, venue, how to submit presentation ideas, etc.), but we wanted to let you all know that there WILL be another Ignite soon in P-Town!
We filled our last (awesome) venue, Wieden+Kennedy, to capacity, and we expect an even bigger crowd next time, so we’re scouting out venues. The date we’re tentatively working with is in the first week of February (we’ll post as soon as we have it for sure). And we’ve got a very cool custom web app for submitting presentation ideas.
If you’re interested in helping out as a volunteer to help us plan an execute, then join this Ignite Portland Google Group. That’s what we’ll be using to collaborate and make sure everything gets done. Only join if you want to be a volunteer (that means work!). News and announcements will happen here on the site.
So, stay tuned, make sure you’re subscribed to the feed (you can even subscribe via email if the whole RSS thing gives you a rash), and get ready to share even more burning ideas!
