Ignite Minneapolis is a high-energy evening of rapid-fire 5-minute talks by Twin Citizens with a burning passion for their topic.

The event brings together local thinkers, writers, designers, coders, makers, entrepreneurs, and many other groups. Some talks are serious science, others are pure satire – but each talk illuminates a compelling idea or story. Attendees come to learn and to be inspired.

Ignite is open to everyone, made with love, staffed by volunteers, and abuzz with energy. There is always free beer. All talks are 5 exactly minutes.

We’re back.

We've all been through some stuff over the past few years. Some of it was global, some national, and some of it was very, very local. We are a different city than we were back when we held the last Ignite Minneapolis in 2017. We are different people. Maybe we’re a little bit better, if somewhat rougher for wear.

We were wondering if it made sense to get together again, so we asked our audience. 95% of you reported that you would attend an in-person Ignite event, with about 38% stipulating either a mask or vaccination requirement.

So we’ll give this a try. We will tread carefully, making everyone’s safety our top priority.
