SUBMISSIONS ARE NOW CLOSED Thanks for submitting! – edited April 14, 2011
Our next Ignite Seattle will be May 18th, 2011. Submissions are now open and we’d love to have you speak at our next Ignite. Submissions are due by April 13th, although earlier submissions are encouraged!
We’ve heard some people say they always want to come to the event, but they forget as the date approaches. If this sounds like you, take a second and sign up for our Ignite Seattle Newsletter, and we’ll make sure you don’t forget. Additionally, you can follow us on Twitter and “like” us on Facebook for updates in those places.
Stay tuned to the Ignite Seattle blog for videos from the last Ignite coming soon.
If you have been around the Seattle geek community for long, it is likely that you’ve run into Tom Music. Tom is a developer, writer, speaker, musician, and one of the nicest guys you are ever gonna meet.
A couple of years ago, Tom was diagnosed with double lymphoma. He had been in remission for a while, but just took a turn for the worse over the last couple of weeks.
Tom’s wife Jana posted an update over the weekend and things are not looking good.
Tom gave one of my favorite Ignite talks of all time last year about his experience with lymphoma. He called his talk “Lymphomartini” and delivered it complete with double rainbows! I’ve embedded the video below.
So hang in there Tom. There are a lot of us who are better for having you in our lives/community. We want you to be around for a lot longer!
UPDATE: Event postponed. See Scott’s site for details.
Be sure to join Ignite Seattle favorite Scott Berkun at Seattle’s Town Hall on Wednesday March 9th at 7:30pm. Scott will be speaking on “How Do Creativity and Innovation Happen?”. Find details on Scott’s site or grab tickets directly from Brown Paper Tickets.
Here’s Scott with his excellent Ignite talk on “Why and How to Give an Ignite Talk”…
