Ignite speakers!

Ignite is about 5 days away and we are in the final madness of getting speakers locked down, locked in, and getting their slides in order.  One part of the fun of doing a just-in-time event like this is the last minute changeout, changeover, and plan changes.   The Ignite Philly Crew, of course, is agile as a cat, and we’re mastered the art of getting awesome things done on a shoestring.

So, even though I won’t Promise anything, I will post the speakers list so far, with the disclaimer that this is subject to change, right up to the second the speaker walks onto the stage….
