Blogs/News about the event:

First notes from Willamette Innovators Night - Mike McInally

However, the show was stolen by presentations from Loyan Roylance of ProWorks, who spoke on the topic of “What Social Media Has Taught Me About Sex” (which I choose here not to excerpt in any way), and Aaron Hockley, a Portland photographer who spoke on his passion: Loving photographs of trains, or as he put it, “train porn.”

Love the tweets about and during the event:

More Tickets Available For Ignite Corvallis 2! (First Come, First Served)

Good News!

We just learned that the auditorium the Ignite Corvallis 2 is being held in is bigger than we thought. That means we have more room for people who want to attend Ignite Corvallis 2!

About 25 seats are left and will be available on a first come, first served basis. And there are some standing room only areas. And an overflow room with live streaming video is also available.

So come on down to the Willamette Innovators Night and watch Ignite Corvallis 2!
