About

Ignite NYC is a pocket-sized conference-like event for geeks, part of the family of Ignites that are held in different cities. Hundreds of geeks come out to drink, play, and listen to talks of any subject matter—just as long as they're deemed striking. Ignites usually have two parts: a contest to start off the night, where people make things, and the talks, where presenters get 20 slides and five minutes to make their point!

Ignite was founded by Brady Forrest and Bre Pettis.

Ignite NYC was started by Brady and Bre and will be regularly organized by Tikva Morowati and Bre.
