In the spirit of “ igniting new ideas” Fairfield Center is pleased to be a partner with IGNITE Harrisonburg! Please come down to Clementine Cafe in Harrisonburg this coming Tuesday, May 15 at 6:30 PM for the first of three IGNITE Harrisonburg events.
Ignite is “a force for raising the collective IQ and building connections in each city,” according to its global website. First started in Seattle, Washington, this movement has spread to over 100 cities throughout the world. Ignite is now in Harrisonburg… aptly called Ignite Harrisonburg!
On Tuesday, may 15th, the final spring event (of three) for Ignite Harrisonburg will take place at Ruby’s Lounge, in the Clementine’s basement. Creatives, entrepreneurs, and community members in and around Harrisonburg will gather to hear (and give, if desired) 5-minute talks about projects, ideas, and personal or professional passions.
If you would, indeed, like to present for five minutes, simply submit your information at Ignite Harrisonburg’s website. (They also have a new Facebook page.)
Pursuing this unique form of social entrepreneurship, Ignite Harrisonburg will host the final Spring 2012 IGNITE event on Tuesday, May 15. The event is free and open to the public.
Those who attend Ignite Harrisonburg events will be able to vote on a People’s Choice Award, and each night’s winner will receive a downtown gift basket! If you ever cannot attend, fear not. After each event, videos of the presentations will be made available on igniteshow.com.Fairfield Center is offering a prize of $3,000.00 in the value of direct services to the overall winner of IGNITE Harrisonburg to further develop and support their ideas and goals toward success.
