Ignite Corvallis 2 Proposal Submission Deadline Extended To Sunday Oct. 18th at Midnight
Yes, you read correctly; The Ignite Corvallis 2 proposal deadline is extended to this Sunday, October 18th at Midnight.
The selection committee is unable to meet to select the lineup until Monday the 19th so we have extended a submission reprieve to the masses.
You can also edit existing proposals up to Sunday night as well. If you have a proposal submitted we will notify you on Monday evening if you are "in". However, even with the submission extension, you *may* want to start working through your presentation this weekend just in case you are selected.

Share Your Burning Ideas At Ignite Corvallis 2 -- Deadline Approaching Fast (Oct 15th - This Thursday)
The Ignite Corvallis proposal submission deadline is getting really close! This Thursday, October 15th at midnight!
I love this post from Ignite Portland talking about the kind of ideas they want:
"What Keeps *YOU* Up At Night?" - Ignite Portland
The best Ignite talks (and we’ve had a ton of great ones - check out some of the videos from past Ignite Portland events to find inspiration!) are the ones that bring out your “burning ideas”. The stuff that keeps you awake at night. The stuff you can’t stop talking about when you’re around your friends. The stuff that you’d do for free, even if it wasn’t a paying job. That’s the kind of talk idea we’re looking for.
That being said, please remember that Ignite Portland is *NOT* the place to be all self promotional or spammy. Talk ideas that seem too spammy will be rejected, in favor of those that show more passion, interestingness, and spark. So be sparky, not spammy!
Share your burning ideas at Ignite Corvallis 2!
