It’s not often that we tell you about Ignite Events taking place in other parts of the world but for this one we thought we would make an exception.

Ignite Great Lakes is taking place on 30th July at 7pm local time – what this might be in Liverpool time I have no idea. Ignite Great Lakes is the first-ever regional Ignite event and we’re holding it in conjunction with Maker Faire Detroit (http://makerfaire.com), on Sat. July 30th at the Fillmore Detroit.

They have pulled together a list of 13 stellar speakers from across a number of branches of Ignite to talk at this end of a makerfaire event.

Date: July 30, 2011

They’ll be streaming the event as well, which means all of you can tune in via the interwebs, and hopefully embed the stream on your own blogs as well. Just keep an eye onhttp://igniteshow.com/greatlakes for more information as it gets closer.

If you’ll be in the area they’d love to have you join them. You can sign up for your tickets here:http://oreil.ly/oypa0Q
