Ignite Charlotte, an evening of networking followed by a series of 5-minute talks by community members who have a personal or professional passion about an idea they are willing to share, will take place on Thursday, May 17th at Grace on Brevard, 219 South Bevard Street, in Uptown Charlotte.

Ignite Charlotte is back and we’re ready to feature another series of 5 minute talks by community members who will attack a whole new series of problems and introduce a slew of world-changing ideas.
Ignite Charlotte 7 will be held on Tuesday, September 16, 2014 at The Chop Shop in NODA. The event will feature talks by speakers who are personally or professionally passionate about an idea and have the guts to get on stage to share it with their fellow community members. Here’s the kicker, they only have 5minutes to enlighten us using 20 slides that auto-advance every 15 seconds, which means the pressure is on so they have to make it quick.
