  • Ignite Philly 5 will be held on Tuesday March 2nd at Johnny Brenda's. Doors open at 6pm, speakers begin at 7pm.

    Ignite Philly is part of a worldwide network that entertains and educates people in short 5 minute bursts. Ignite Philly is the local group, and is our way to highlight great ideas coming to life here in Philadelphia.

    Each presenter is on stage for a total of 5 minutes (20 slides, at 15 seconds each slide). These talks are a ’spark’ if you will, they are lightning fast and leave people with a new idea to mull over and talk about. Read more.
