Great storytellers take risks, the same as great entrepreneurs do. On Friday 26 February at IGNITE we explore the intersections of the emerging media arts and entrepreneurship. We will meet and network with a host of student run organizations and programs that deal with entrepreneurship, technology, making, and entertainment.
