Share this event

Ignite Seattle is the largest open submission public speaking event
in the Pacific Northwest. Twice a year, one of the greatest
audiences in the world gathers to hear interesting people tell
interesting stories. Each speaker gets 20 slides, for 15 seconds each,
to share a passion for 5 minutes – it’s an evening of curated discovery.
We take pride in providing every audience with a deep sense of the
community + possibility that surrounds us in Seattle in every moment.
