Inspiration, skills and connections to shape a meaningful career.
Friday Afternoon/Evening
House of Genius kickoff: House of Genius assembles interesting, diverse groups of people to focus their collective creativity and experience to explore, discuss and solve important problems of entrepreneurship. At Ignite, experience a mini-House of Genius session to connect with your fellow participants around a problem presented by a local entrepreneur. We'll follow up with a low-key dinner.
Saturday
Storytelling: Storytelling is a way to take elements of your background and experience and quickly create a twenty-second story you can use to connect with someone you just met. Then take that skill to expand your story for a longer conversation or interview setting. We're bringing back this popular session from Ignite 2015 to help you connect even better at Ignite and beyond.
Reverse Panel: Instead of a panel of experts talking at you from the front of the room, our Ignite guests will rotate among small groups of participants. Experience a one-of-a-kind opportunity to meet, connect with, and be inspired by a diverse collection of change-makers and entrepreneurs from organizations around the country.
Build a Career Worth Having: In this session, you’ll get an overview of the elements of a fulfilling and meaningful career. You’ll explore your own personal goal, the stepping stones that have already brought you closer to it, and the next steps you need to seek out in order to ultimately achieve it. For those who attended this session in prior years, we will build a “2.0” version for you to continue the work you began at your first "Build a Career" experience.
