It is Ignite’s great pleasure to be able to bring together such a rich diversity of talented speakers for an evening of cerebral stimulation.
Our speakers are all checking their slides, rehearsing their timings and ensuring their vocal cords are in tip top condition for the next encounter of Ignite Liverpool.
Celebrating people from all walks of life as they talk about their passions, their projects and in some cases, their strange habits…….
Each speaker gives a 5 minute presentation on their subject matter.
Your speakers in no particular order……

Talk Title: Bellew’s Dictum – Archimedes Pythagoras and Murphy along with many other scions and soothsayers are famous for laws, theories and homilies that govern our lives. I’m now delighted to add to this lexicon of the lugubrious with the announcement of the global launch of “”Bellew’s Dictum”” on Ignite.
This pearl of wisdom, this genius gem, this nugget of nous, could change your life, fire up your pheromones and light up your libido. It could provide infinite insight to your innermost indiscretions. It might inflame your smouldering desires, transform your transgressions, be a sinecure for your sins and even energise your erections. Who knows? Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it! So what is… “”Bellew’s Dictum”” – Be at Leaf on the 11th Sept to find out!

Pitch and Put-it-out-there at the Break
Don’t forget if you have a project that you want to talk about then at the end of the break we have our Pitches section –which gives audience members the opportunity 1 minute to jump up on stage and tell the rest of the world (especially those watching at home) about a great project, event or maybe even just about something they are proud of. We make an announcement about this during the break so listen out.
