Our call for speakers for Ignite London 3 is now closed. We have been overwhelmed by the amazing array of submissions we have received! It will be a tough job to choose who will be in the line up for Ignite London 3 at The Luminaire on Tuesday 28th September. A very, very big thank you to all of you who did submit this time. We would love you all to speak, but we are limited to 15 on the night, so some will be disappointed I’m afraid. If you are not selected, don’t be downhearted – come along to the evening in the audience, and resubmit for the next event.
The Ignite London committee will be meeting Monday next week to agree a line up which we are sure will inform, inspire and entertain you. The selection process will try to ensure an interesting mix of topics, light hearted / seriousness and a mix of speaker backgrounds and originality to ensure there will be something for everyone on the night. I can tell you it will be a very difficult decision process with so many fantastic ideas submitted to us. We will let all those who submitted know the outcome directly either way soon after, so you have as much time as possible to prepare.
We will announce the successful line up of speakers on this site early next week, and you will see for yourself what a great night Ignite London 3 will be on the 28th September! We will also be releasing ticket vouchers in batches over the coming weeks for the audience, so keep an eye on this website and twitter feed for details of their release. If the last event was anything to go by, they will be snapped up quickly. The vouchers are free, but we do have a limit on numbers at the venue.
Anyway – enough for one evening and again a big thank you and good luck to our submitted speakers.

How will selections be made?
Talks will be primarily selected based on whether the topic is interesting, inventive, creative and unique. We will also make an attempt to select a wide range of topics so that there isn’t too much overlap in terms of content and subjects that haven’t been covered at previous Ignite London events. It would be great to have more ladies speak too. We’ll let you know soon after the deadline whether your proposal has been successful in order to give you as much time as possible to prepare.

A lot of our Ignite London speakers and organisers have an active online presence. In case you want to hear more, we thought we’d give you a list of the blogs and websites we know about so you can check them out. We’ve also created a Google Reader Bundle so that if you’re inclined, you can subscribe to all of them in one neat little package, which you can find here. We’ve also included some blogs from the Ignite London #1 group in the bundle. If you’re more the Twitter type, you can follow all the Ignite London speakers by subscribing to our list.
As for Ignite London #2 speakers, here’s where you can find them online (in no particular order):
