Ignite Montreal needs an organising team for Ignite Week 2011

Posted: December 13th, 2010 | Author: Felipe C. | Filed under: Announcements | No Comments »

Hi all,

We had a great Ignite in Montreal during Ignite Week 2010. It was definitely an awesome event for our community and we saw a lot of really good presentations. Unfortunately we all got very busy with other stuff and are unable to organize it for 2011, but we would love to see Montreal still being a part of it.

So, I’d like to call out to others who might be willing to make it happen during Global Ignite Week 2011 and maybe make it a more regular event in Montreal.

If you think you can get involved, please send me a note: felipe@63squares.com
