Join The Foundry Community, Firespring Foundation, and the E.N. Thompson Forum on World Issues for an inspiring night where passionate speakers take the stage with just 5 minutes and 20 slides to share their stories of belonging to spark connection in a time of loneliness.
Ignite’s goal is to make it possible for anyone, anywhere, to learn to present their ideas and their stories, welcoming speakers at all levels, in any occupation, from all walks of life to present. Ignite Lincoln 17 shares the E.N. Thompson Forum’s theme of “Belonging: Finding Connection in a Lonely World,” exploring the growing public health crisis of loneliness and isolation, and the vital role of human connection in improving individual and community well-being. Presentations are unique to the speaker’s own experience with the theme of “Belonging.”
Ignite Lincoln also strives to amplify the voices and missions of local nonprofits, placing them at the heart of its programming. Nonprofit finalists will be chosen to participate in Ignite Lincoln 17 and be eligible for the grand prize of $1,500 or a smaller award of $750. The amount awarded to each nonprofit will be determined by the total donations received for the event.
Tickets are $10 per adult and $5 per student (use code STUDENT5).
