Once again, you all have proved how awesome you were with your attendance at Ignite Cheyenne 2. Even though it was freezing out, we had almost 70 people attend the event. We had great talks and great fun. For those who got tickets and were unable to attend – we missed you, and hope that you are able to attend the next one (We are shooting for the Week of May 16, and will probably be Tuesday May 17 or Thursday May 19).
You all were a great crowd, and in case you missed it, here’s who was speaking:
- Andy Aldrich – Haiti, Love and Action
- Marylin Patton – Retirement: It’s not about the Money
- Anya Petersen-Frey - Some road race in Alaska that’s pretty famous
- Rocky Case – Genocide and Political Violence–Has Society Learned Anything?!
- Angi Harper – Networking for the Shy
- Jeff Fruhwirth – It’s Not Just for 5th Grade Science Projects Anymore!
- Caleb Blomberg – Music
- Anthony Sara – It’s not a Spectator Sport, Participate!
Alan, our awesome sponsor at Wyoming Community Media is not quite done editing the videos yet. Once he’s finished, we will put them up on our youtube page and let you know.
Amazing Community Support!
Also, for those of you who have been around Ignite Cheyenne for a while, you know we picked a charity this time around, LightsOn! Cheyenne. We were able to raise $183 for LightsOn! Cheyenne. Here’s what Glen had to say about you all after the event:
On behalf of LightsOn!, I want to thank you for your wonderful event and for making LightsOn! your charity. We received $183.00 which will be match dollar for dollar. The funds will go toward the rehabilitation of the Hynds and the establishment of an arts-education program in downtown.
We also took some pictures at the event, and you can check them out on our flickr account.
We had some awesome sponsors this time around. Our main sponsor was
Wyoming Entrepreneur
and many other organizations came through with in-kind sponsorships. They include Wyoming Community Media, Social Wyo, LCCC and the Cheyenne Visitors Bureau.
As always, if you’re looking to speak at the next one, drop us a line!
