Right …the 2nd batch of tickets will be released over on Eventbrite on Sunday

Although admission is free, we are using a ticket system so that people can ensure their admission at what we imagine will be a sold out event.

• Your ticket only guarantees you admission if you arrive by 7:30 pm (doors open at 7 pm). At 7:30 pm, we will begin to let people in at the door and your ticket will no longer guarantee you anything.

93 Feet East has quite a big capacity, so if you don’t manage to snap up any of this batch of tickets, don’t despair because we will be releasing one more batch on Tuesday 1st November 2011 at 1230. Tickets are limited so please, only take one if you are able to attend. If something happens and your plans change, let us know so that we can free your ticket up for someone who can use it.

You definitely want tickets to see what Ignite London 5 has in store!

There’s still two more opportunities to get your hands on some tickets. Batch number 2 and 3 will be made available on:

Sunday 30th October 2011 at 1900

Tuesday 1st November 2011 at 1230

Head on over to our Eventbrite page to get some.

Tickets are limited so please only take one if you are able to attend. Previous events have shown ticket holders not informing us they would be unable to make it. This meant that people on the waitlist were unable to have a chance of attending in their place.Therefore if you are unable to attend please inform us as soon as possible via tickets@ignitelondon.net so we can redistribute the ticket to someone able to use it.

Look forward to seeing you at Ignite London 5.

Check out the videos of all talks and photos from Ignite London 3

All the talks at Ignite London 3 on 28 September 2010 were captured on video by our very own Richard, and having been edited, jigged and poked are now available to view.

You can access them all via this site’s videos link or directly via the Vimeo channel .  They can be viewed on mobile devices, so you can relive the night’s action on a train or bus and bemuse your fellow commuters whilst chuckling to yourself trying to divide 23,792 by 27 or marveling at one man’s epic mission to count all his sneezes.

Hopefully you’ll find inspiration for a talk you can make at our next event during Global Ignite Week 7-11 February 2011.

There’s also a number of great photos from the last event (and the previous two) at the Ignite London Flickr pool.  If any attendees had cameras on the night and took some snaps it would be fantastic to see them added.

Directions to The Luminaire

As the nights draw in through Autumn, we thought it would help everyone if we shared a quick video for directions to the venue. It’s a short walk and we want to make sure you all get in early for this sold out event. Further detailed directions can be found at The Luminaire website.
