Ignite Columbus Spring

Ignite is an idea-sharing competition held in over 100 cities worldwide. These events are a venue for innovative thinkers to share their personal and professional passions, using 20 slides that auto-advance every 15 seconds for just five minutes.

Participants will compete in two judged categories: “Most Enlightening” and “Most Innovative.” One presenter will receive the People's Choice Award, which is given to the audience’s favorite.

Enjoy a lively evening of free food, cash bar brews and wine, and enlightenment as we watch our community's innovators and entrepreneurs compete for cash prizes in a fast-paced format to see who has the next great idea!  Stay to the end to see the checks being awarded!
