Codeworks bosses see a bright future for the Ignite events as an inspiration for the North East digital sector.
The second Ignite event, which took place last Thursday, attracted a buzzing group of local digital and creative professionals to the Vermont Hotel in Newcastle.
Emilia Flockhart, Communications Executive at Codeworks, said the event completely exceeded the organisers’ expectations and received excellent feedback.
“Everyone seemed to have had a great time, saying it was both fun, inspiring, and entertaining”, she said.
Platform to shine
The Ignite format features 5-minute talks about participants’ personal or professional passions. One talk can have a maximum of 20 slides with each slide displayed for 15 seconds then automatically advanced.
