Following on from the event we’re glad you all enjoyed visiting The Luminaire and the talks by our inspiring speakers.
The videos from the evening are in the process of being have been edited, encoded and uploaded for your delight of Ignite London 2. All of which will be available via the channel & album on vimeo. Videos will be also be embedded here on the site, so don’t worry about missing out.
Another fantastic announcement is that they will be mobile friendly via vimeo, in particular the iPod & iPhone. A separate video podcast is also being considered, so if you would like to see this come to fruition please leave a comment.
If you were unable to attend we hope the videos will enthuse you to come along to or submit a talk for Ignite London 3.
We will be trying to live stream some of Ignite London 2 tonight. So please feel free to drop in to this website if you are unable to attend, or are just too excited to wait for the HD videos to see our inspiring speakers.
We’ve had a few emails about the process for admission into Ignite London. Here is what you need to know:
Admission is free, whether you have a voucher or decide to take your chances at the door.
If you secured one of the advance vouchers, please print it off and bring it with you to Ignite London. If you forget yours, we will also have a list of people who purchased vouchers, but to avoid a wait at the door, it would be best if you have the actual voucher with you.
Vouchers only guarantee your admission until 7:30 pm. After 7:30 pm, we will begin to allow people into the venue on a first come/first serve basis.
If you don’t have a voucher – unfortunately because of capacity issues, we are not able to issue any more. There is still a bit of room in the venue we’ve reserved for people who wish to show up at the door though we cannot guarantee you will get in. We will do our best to try to accommodate everyone. We toyed with the idea of creating a waiting list, but given the huge amount of interest, this didn’t feel like a manageable option though we will certainly consider it for future events.
If you have a voucher but are unable to use it, for whatever reason, please let us know so that we can make additional spots available to the many people who would like to attend. You can let us know by emailing info@ignitelondon.net.
