Room to Ignite at the King Cat Theatre Tonight
Seattlest went to Ignite way back in '06 and loved the shit out of it: "We learned so much about happenings in and around the Seattle tech world we feel like we leveled up like twenty times."
This year, due to popular demand, Ignite is being held at the larger King Cat Theatre (2130 6th Avenue). (If you were planning on hit TechFlash LIVE in advance of Ignite, better have tickets because they're sold out.)
Ignite begins at 7:30 p.m. with a Paper Tower Contest--how tall of a tower can you build with five sheets of paper and tape?--then at 8:30 the first round of talks kicks off, followed by a second set at 9:45 p.m. Each set has eight speakers (talk titles range from "Public Library Hacking" and "Knitting in Code" to "Goodbye Tolstoy: How to say anything in 140 characters or less"). We've got the full list for you after the jump.
