Volume #49 – The Celebration 

It is our great pleasure to be able to bring together such a rich diversity of talented speakers for an evening of cerebral stimulation.

Our speakers are all checking their slides, rehearsing their timings and ensuring their vocal cords are in tip top condition for the next encounter of Ignite Liverpool.

Celebrating people from all walks of life as they talk about their passions, their projects and in some cases, their strange habits…….

Pitch and Put at the Break

Don’t forget if you have a project that you want to talk about then at the end of the break we have our Pitches section –which gives audience members the opportunity 1 minute to jump up on stage and tell the rest of the world (especially those watching at home) about a great project, event or maybe even just about something they are proud of. We make an announcement about this during the break so listen out.

See you there and may the force be with you.
