Thanks for the submissions everyone! There are some really great ideas here and we’ll be mulling them over this weekend. We will announce our selections early next week right here on our blog. Those that have been selected will also receive an email from us notifying them of their selection and what our next steps are. Again, big thanks to everyone who has submitted. It will prove to be another challenging selection process.

Holy cow! Ignite Portland 3 is sneaking up on us, fast! The event will be held on June 18, at the Bagdad Theater in Portland (same place it was last time - RSVP at Upcoming). Know what that means? It means that today, May 28, is the last day we’re accepting presentation idea submissions. Cutoff is midnight (PDT).
If you’ve taken part in Ignite Portland before, you know that the mix of 5 minute, 20 slide presentations is all over the map - pepper to rockets, Dr. Seuss to David Hasselhoff. That’s what makes it so awesome! But we are totally, 100% dependent on YOU for all of those cool ideas and presentations (I sound like a public radio fund drive, don’t I? 
).
We had a shorter submission window this time, and I think we’ve gotten a lower number of ideas submitted (I’d have to check on that). Know what that means? It means the chances of YOUR idea getting selected to present is HIGHER THAN EVER.
So head on over to the submission page before midnight, give us a summary of who you are and what your presentation idea is, and help us to make Ignite Portland 3 even MORE awesome than the last two! We’ve got a reputation to uphold here, people, and we’re counting on you.
Don’t let the Portland geeky crafty bacon-y crowd down!
Would you like to light up the stage at Ignite Portland 3? We are now accepting submissions through our sweet proposal review system.
Again, we’d like to thank Igal Koshevoy at AutomateIt for donating his expertise and time to build the presentation proposal site for Ignite Portland - very cool.
The deadline for submission is May 28th. The Ignite Portland planning committee will select the finalists shortly after the deadline and inform the selected presenters.
We look forward to your creative ideas!
