IgniteAmherst: OCCUPY...DISRUPT...REINVENT! in 54

This valley is full of crazy entrepreneurs & thinkers, doers & makers with some seriously crazy ideas. IgniteAmherst is a group of provocateurs (Baer, Katrin, Joseph, and Liza) who put on Ignite talks in Amherst to expose these people for what they are - brilliant. What's an Ignite talk?

Fast-paced, fun, thought-provoking, social, local, global—an Ignite is all of these and more. It's a high-energy evening of 5-minute talks by people who have an idea—and the guts to get onstage and share it with their hometown crowd. Ignite takes a shot at raising the collective IQ and building connections in the valley. Beers are involved.

NEXT IGNITE: February 7th, 2012
We're putting on our 2nd IgniteAmherst on Tuesday, February 7th @ 7pm. We are again joined by our partner the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art in Amherst who will host our Ignite!

Our theme this time around is "Occupy...Disrupt...Reinvent". Our valley is occupied by people who love to shake things up, from Daniel Shays to creating a new straw boater hat craze to new software entrepreneurs...the tradition continues! We'll hear thought-provoking Ignites from disrupters in our valley, with the audiences lively involvement.

You can get tickets here at EventBrite.

Thanks to our AWESOME sponsors!
