Ignite Fort Collins Friday night!

• Ignite Fort Collins is this Friday!  The performances will be at the Lincoln Center Performance Hall.  Doors open at 6 PM, show starts at 7 PM. Get there early or miss out on free beer and great music!
  
  
  A ignite is a series of speakers who literally speak about anything they are passionate about – even if it’s nerdy, geeky, weird, or controversial. 
  Ignite Fort Collins is a no-pitch zone. If you’re talking on stage, it’s about something you’re passionate about, something you geek out over, something worth teaching to others.
  Ignite Fort Collins is a family-friendly zone, so ages 4+ are invited to attend (Ignite Fort Collins: After Dark is 18+). Our speakers are asked not to swear (for the most part) and the audience is warm and receptive – they want to see your passion! Each event features 14 speakers and the night generally runs from 7PM to 9PM with a 30-minute intermission.
  Ignite Fort Collins is filled with some of Fort Collins, Colorado’s best and brightest minds, on-stage and off. Our event has spread the word about Fort Collins very own Pay-What-You-Can-style cafe, our own local kick-starter variant, and even a local hostel. Businesses have started, ideas have flourished, and genius was made.
