We're Back!

Hey everyone, we will be hosting our next IGNITE Syracuse this Thursday at the Warehouse on Fayette Street. We'll be on the 4th floor in a really funky spot called COLAB starting at 6:30pm. We will be having beer and snacks and a fun night of random presentations. Thus far we have 5 great presenters lined up and are still looking for a few more. Are you interested? Know of anyone? If yes, e-mail me at maarten@assisicenter.org ASAP to get yourself in the mix.

Keep checking our blog daily for more info!

First One Under Our Belts...

Last night was our first IGNITE Syracuse event and although I'm completely biased, I think it went really well! We ended up having 8 presenters and roughly 70 people come to see the presentations and learn about some cool projects going on around the city of Syracuse. Thank you to everyone who helped out with this event and who came out to show their support. It was encouraging to learn about creative projects that are happening right in our own city.

The next IGNITE is slated for August 13th, location TBA. Below are a few pictures from the event.
