For those that couldn’t make it, here’s the entire slide deck from the night! 

In an effort to not lose, but to build momentum, I’m starting the planning for Ignite Denver 3 now! I’ll set up the user voice soon and announce that, but right now my first task is a new venue. Maloney’s was better than Fado (Ignite Denver 1), but not perfect!

For the critics, yeah yeah, it wasn’t Ignite Boulder, and for me, that’s a positive. Andrew rocks and Ignite Boulder is fun, but I’ve no interest in mimicry. Ignite Denver is going to organically find it’s place. We’ll try places out, adjust as we go. Denver isn’t Boulder, let’s embrace that and make Ignite Denver, reflect us!

Maloney’s had a lot going for it, if the pool tables (which I actually gelled on and didn’t notice the first time I was there) weren’t there, and the screen had been bigger I think it might work. Now that they (Maloney’s) knows what we’re about, they wouldn’t have music in our side, etc.

But we probably won’t do Maloney’s again. For one thing, until we find that perfect spot, Denver is just too awesome to settle for a place that’s not right! Let’s try some places out!

So that said, leave a comment, or email me at ignitedenver @ gmail . com

I’m open to checking places out, maybe even organize a pubcrawl “research” night to scout locations. @chipd did it for our Webdirections North party and it was fun, and that was how I found Maloney’s!

See you all in May sometime!

about 6:30ish @naomimimi will be showing us a little thriller dance action, bring your zombie rythm.

• The Myth of Right and Left
• FB 102: Rules for loosely-coupled structures (like you)
• OpenID and Public Profiles
• postmodern photosafaris + social photography
• Dude, where’s my solar powered car?
• Changing the Way Organizations Learn
• “Changes to World Energy Use” All data from National Labs
• Activity Streams!

That’s not the complete line up but should give you an idea of where things will fall.

Door’s open at 6pm. We’ll be drinking, eating, networking, chatting, etc for 30 minutes or so, depending on the crowd.

We’ll start the Ignite Presentations next, around 6:30-7:00 ish.

Each presentation is 5 minutes, and if there’s any questions, feel free to ask right after. The next presentation will begin right after the one before it (or after the questions are answered).

We’ll go through each presentation taking a potty break in the middle.

After that, around 9-9:30ish, we’ll be done with presentations, and everyone is free to hang around, keep chatting and networking. I’ll be there all night (well mostly), so don’t feel like after the last presentation the night is over. hang out, grab a snack, enjoy a drink, meet new folks! That’s how Ignite works!

Any questions?

See you tomorrow night! Make sure to RSVP!

I’ll be assigning an orderto these Monday, but here’s what you can expect. Oh and there should be a cool surprise presenter too

Our venue booked us in the “small” room, and since the “large” room was gonna be cozy already, well the “small” room was a no go.

So…… NEW VENUE!!
