Yes, it’s looking fine for Ignite 9 coming up on Thursday 15th March at Leaf Cafe on Bold Street and you can book for Free  to join the coolest crowd around – yep we love the Ignite Liverpool crowd.

The Global Entrephrenuership Conference is in town so this will be a bit of relief from the hard sell as our speakers expose their inner passions. Some will surprise, some will delight and some will undoubtedly bemuse.

We have a fantastic range of speakers lined up for the 15th and I’m really looking forward to the night.
