On February 19th, Ignite Portland will deliver its fifth show, which will be held at the Bagdad Theatre. If you’re not familiar with Ignite Portland, let us take a moment to share what the buzz is all about.

The Ignite series was started by the O’Reilly media group and has grown into an international phenomena with dozens of cities around the globe organizing local events. The format of the event is 13 speakers who get 5 minutes each and 20 slides to share interesting topics ranging from How to buy a car for under $1,000 to Why Deutschland Loves David Hasselhoff to Cup Noodle: Innovation, Inspiration, and Manga. Organized by a local non-profit known as the Legion of Tech, Ignite has been a sold-out show for each of the previous four events. Well, that’s not entirely accurate. The tickets are free, and are generally gone within hours of their release!

We’re a sponsor for the fifth appearance of this series, which has had a record 80 submissions for the coveted 13 spots. Because the freely available tickets are claimed within hours of the event, leave us a comment below if you’d like us to notify you the second they are available.
