We’ve ran into some difficulties orchestrating the next Ignite Seattle. We will not be having our next Ignite on March 1st as originally intended and our new date is TBD. We’ll post our new date as soon as we can. Apologies for any confusion.
In the mean time, we’ve opened submissions back up for our next event in the mysterious future. If you have a talk idea, go submit now! NOTE: if you’ve already submitted, there is no need to submit again.
