Thanks to everyone who came out last night, to our speakers, our sponsors and Ginglik. We’ll be posting images from the event and videos of the talks over the next week or so. It was a great night! You’ve all made me smile

A last word of thanks to our sponsors: presenting sponsor Box UK, venue sponsor Ginglik (especially Colin for all his help) and non-monetary promotional sponsors the BBC and O’Reilly. Most important, thanks to all of tonight’s speakers who have donated their time, energy and creativity to creating an interesting and eclectic range of talks.

Both Dan and I have really enjoyed putting together this event. If you are at Ignite tonight, please come up and say hello. For more on Dan, visit his Twitter or his website. You can also find me (Amy) on Twitter or on my blog. We also both write for The Januarist.

Hope to see many of you tonight!

If you received a voucher, your admission is guaranteed up until 7:15 pm. If you didn’t receive one, please do come along anyhow. We still expect you will be able to get in at the door if you arrive early but of course, we can’t guarantee anything.

We would love it if you would remind everyone that Ignite London is happening this week and also to continue to post about the event through your social networking channels throughout the night of the 18th. Please use the hash tag #igniteLDN so that we can follow what everyone is saying.

Thanks for all your support and we’re looking forward to seeing you all on Wednesday. In the meantime, if you have any questions or concerns, please leave a comment or email amyATboxukDOTcom.

In case we are having a technical issue, and you have emailed me and it’s gone into my spam please try emailing your details to the following: amy[AT]boxuk[DOT]com and amy.thibodeau[AT]gmail[DOT]com.

The vouchers are all spoken for and I’ve had additional requests. If you would still like a voucher, please email me ASAP. If I don’t hear from you within the next 24 hours, I will assume something has come up and you can’t use your voucher and I may give it to someone else.

Specifically, from the people who commented on the website, I am waiting to hear from: @Mathieu, @Simon, @Brianjd. @Roberta, @LorenzGerber, @JamesFlewellen, @Alire, @Martinwalton, @Adrianaata, @CharleyMassey, @Chalres, @RichardKeen, @SimonFoster, @JimmyTidey, @Rowan, @AliceBartlett.

As always, comments welcome below.

Thanks!

If you didn’t get a voucher, this does not mean you can’t attend Ignite London! The capacity of our venue is about 180 people – we’ve only given out 50 vouchers (good for two people each) so that still leaves room for people who show up at the door.

Whether you have a voucher or show up on the night, admission is still free. We are really looking forward to see you all there!

So we think we’ve come up with a compromise.

We are giving away a limited number of vouchers, which will guarantee you and a friend admission to Ignite London, provided you turn up by 7:15 pm, with a printed voucher in hand. After 7:15 pm, you are still welcome to turn up and may well get in (we have no idea what the demand will be like) but we can’t guarantee it as we’ll be letting people in at the door on a first come, first served basis. Vouchers will be given away to the first 50 people who request them.

We would really appreciate it if you only take vouchers if you plan to attend.

Please note: this does NOT mean that you need a voucher to get in. This is the first Ignite London event in the history of the world and we have no idea how busy it will be. We are hoping for a full house and have had a great response, so if you don’t have a voucher, we recommend you turn up early to avoid disappointment.

Ignite London is happening on Wednesday, 18 November. Doors open at 7 pm, talks will start between 7:45 and 8 pm and admission is free.

To request a voucher, please leave a comment below or @ ignite_london on Twitter.

For personal and professional reasons, we are excited to announce Box UK’s official sponsorship of the first Ignite London. Box UK was born out of the work of leading thinkers and doers in the web and technology industry. With offices in London and Cardiff, they are obsessed with the Internet and emerging technologies and work with some the world’s best people, from the FTSE 100 to international standards bodies and leading organisations across the UK public and heritage sector. Hundreds of websites are currently managed by their leading Web Content Management System Amaxus, including the National Gallery, BCS – The Chartered Institute of IT, Tombraider.com and Investec Asset Management.

For more information on Box UK, or to find out more about their leading Web CMS Amaxus, please get in touch.

I should note that both Dan and I work for Box UK, so we have a personal connection with the company. It’s also worth mentioning that Box UK has been a supporter of the Ignite concept for a long time and has previously sponsored events in Cardiff.

We are also very lucky to have a wonderful venue partner in Ginglik, who have given us a great price on the space and have waived their regular admission fee. On November 18th, make sure you come early, stay late and enjoy some of the great drinks and food on offer at Ginglik.

Chris Thorpe’s Ignite London talk is called Perils, Wonders and Learning to “be” in a Networked World. Since he gave up playing with really big computers as a research scientist, Chris has been trying to find more and more excuses to play with really big computers powering web applications. He’s been involved in projects as diverse as bringing Which? to an online audience, social worlds for 7-11 year olds, video archives of Nobel Prize winners telling their life stories, a James Bond premiere webcast, and putting contemporary sculpture on Trafalgar Square’s Fourth Plinth.

He is co-founder of Jaggeree, which is a consultancy that works in the spaces and intersections around content, play, people and data.  For more information on Chris visit Jaggeree or his other site Four Walks, or follow him on Twitter.

Nicky Smyth’s Ignite London talk is called Analogue World Design Patterns: A Look at User Behaviour. Nicky is the Senior Research Manager of User Experience, BBC Future Media & Technology. She’s been working in digital media and broadcast since the initial boom of the 90s. With a background in user experience design, she is fascinated by ways that consumer insight can influence the way we craft experiences from storytelling through to digital services. Learn more about Nicky on her website, or follow her on Twitter.

Dafydd Rees’s talk is called Guerrilla Software Design – How to Make the Most of the Power of Small, Creative Software Teams. Dafydd is a freelance software developer with experience in the media, investment banking and mobile data industries. He started programming when he was five years old. Back in 2002, some great people made him an offer he couldn’t refuse and he’s been doing extreme programming ever since. Dafydd has a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Swansea University. Visit Dafydd on his website or follow him on Twitter.

Gerard Darby will talk about Sideways Thinking. Gerard is the author of several books for young people on idea generation, including The Little Book for Big Ideas, Dare to Dream, and Get Connected. He is the co-editor of Reinvesting Education, a publication that brings together a diverse range of viewpoints on how education needs to be changed to meet the demands of the 21st Century. He runs workshops on creative and lateral thinking for both businesses and colleges in London.

Only one more speaker to announce and that’s our list complete.
