    Missed Ignite Boise 5?

    Posted on: 11/8/2010 1:32:19 PM | Comments (0)

    We are so sorry as it was a good time!

    The presentations were informative and the speakers did a great job at sharing their passion for the topics - and what a variety of topics there were - eating locally, women & voting, AIDs, the history of the duel, entrepreneurship, and many more.   

    The videos are posted here.  If you only have a few minutes, be sure to watch Mia McClenna's presentation on 'What My Monsters Do While I'm At School'.  She's 11 and did an amazing job.  

    While you're watching, be thinking about what you can talk about for 5 minutes in 20 slides.  Ignite Boise 6 is right around the corner in April.  Its never too early to start planning.
