Ignite Berry is back!

A series of short, sharp, and enlightening talks on one epic night! Ignite Berry is returning on Saturday 9th November 2024, with its famously fast-paced and fun presentations that are guaranteed to blow your mind and enlighten your thinking.

All profits from Ignite Berry November 2024 will be donated to the Berry Chamber of Commerce Christmas fund-raiser, and the OpenField Contemporary Arts Festival.

About Ignite

Ignite is a series of speedy presentations

Be prepared for a fun night of lightning-fast talks. Talks delivered by people who know their stuff. Plot twist, their talks have to be exactly 5 minutes. Nothing like a time constraint to squeeze out the essence of someone’s knowledge. You will walk away, mind blown, energised, entertained and most definitely a little more enlightened.

We'll have delicious food and drinks for sale courtesy of our friends at Pickled Ink Kitchen and Work Life Berry
