We are really excited about Ignite Portland and can hardly believe that the day has finally arrived!!

A few things to keep in mind for tonight

  • If you have a ticket, it is only good from 5:30 - 6:15pm
  • Arrive early (even if you have a ticket). Seating is limited
  • The name on your ID must match your ticket (tickets are not transferable)
  • We will start general admission at 6:15
  • Parking is scarce to non-existent near Hawthorne. We highly recommend taking public transportation!
  • Leave the valuables, big backpacks, etc. at home. We’ll be packed in like sardines, and we are not responsible for lost or stolen items.
  • Feel free to bring a camera to take pictures or video
  • For information on tagging, twitter and other electronic updates, please see Josh’s post on How to Participate Electronically.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What time should I arrive? The earlier you arrive, the better your chances of getting a good seat. We are suggesting that people arrive no later than 5pm if you want a good seat.

Can I get in without a ticket? Yes. You can wait in the general admission line to be admitted without a ticket at 6:15pm.

I have a friend on the organizing committee, can you get me a special ticket? No. Parents of organizers have been denied this request. Do you think we love you more than our parents? Um, maybe, but probably not.

If I RSVP’d on Upcoming.org does that mean I already have a ticket? No.

What if I lose my ticket? You can retrieve it online here.

What if I leave my ticket or ID at home? You will have our profound sympathy and be directed to the general admission line.

Will food and drinks be available? Yes. The Bagdad will have their normal menu available.

Can kids come? What if my kids don’t have an email address? Kids are welcome but all minors need to be out of the building by 9:00pm per OLCC rules (the event ends at 9:00 so they won’t miss any of the presentations).Children without tickets will be admitted with ticketed adults.

I’m very pleased to announce our final selections for Ignite Portland 3. A total of 51 talks were submitted, all from smart, passionate people.  We had to whittle them down to 13, trying to keep a balance of topics and people. I’m so excited to see every one of these presentations, and can’t wait for you all to be there with me!

And here they are:

5:30 Doors Open
6:00 Registration & Networking
7:00 Presentations Wave 1

7:45 Break and Networking
8:10 Door Prizes
8:15 Presentations Wave 2

8:50 Networking
9:30 Go Home! (or adjourn to the bar for further networking)

* Minors are required to leave at 9:00 due to OLCC regulations

What a line-up! Cheap cars and facing your fears? Eggs and running startups? Robots, Manga, and riding freight trains?  This is why I love Portland.

Be sure to RSVP on Upcoming if you’ll be attending. Even though we ran out of tickets online (in less than 24-hours!) we have saved space for general admission without a ticket starting at 6:15pm.  Doors open at 5:30pm for ticketholders!
