This is a guest post by Tomas of The Closet Entrepreneur.

Greetings AzSustainability readers! Your gracious blog owner, James, was kind enough to lend me your eyes and ears to share some details about the upcoming Ignite Phoenix event! If you’re new to Ignite Phoenix, it’s an information exchange aimed at fostering and inspiring Phoenix’s creative community; presenters get five minutes and 20 slides to talk about anything and everything they’re passionate about.

Our inaugural August event drew a crowd of 150+ who enjoyed presentations on OCD, green business ideas, social media, and being the only black guy in the room. For our second, event we’re looking to continue the tradition of having a wide variety of topics and one of those burning topics is sustainability. So, if you have a passion for green ideas, water conservation, alternative forms of energy, reducing your footprint, or anything else that may be of value to the Phoenix-metro community, please consider submitting it! Submissions are currently open and the deadline to submit an idea is 5:00PM on Friday October 10th, 2008. You can submit your idea and see what other ideas have been submitted by visiting the Ignite Submissions Page.

Again, the concept behind Ignite is to share and inspire so feel free to submit an idea even if it doesn’t fall under the topic of sustainability! Also, if for some reason you feel that you have nothing of value to share, which is preposterous because I know everyone has a passion they would like to talk about, then please consider coming on down to the Jobing.com Offices on October 28th to enjoy the event in person. There will be plenty of like-minded individuals enjoying the event so it’s a great opportunity to network and meet new people.

Here are all the details:

• Homepage: ignitephoenix.com
• Submissions Deadline: 5:00PM on Friday October 10th, 2008
• Event Date: Wednesday October 29th, 2008 (RSVP)
• Time: 6:00PM
• Place: Jobing.com Phoenix Offices – 4747 N. 22nd Street Phoenix, AZ

I hope you will join us!

Sincerely,
~Tomas
