Ignite Anchorage 3

Ignite Anchorage 3 was held at the Alaska Wild Berry Theater on Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010.

Fundraiser

We sold tickets to raise money to donate to an Alaska-based DonorsChoose.org that was selected by vote by attendees. We raised a total of $674.00. We fully funded the project receiving the most votes – Young Adult Literature for Rural Alaskan Eskimo Students – by donating the full $521.04 that the project needed. We donated the remaining $152.96 to the project that received the second most votes – GPS Units to Document Glacial Retreat.

PowerPoint Karaoke

For the first time at Ignite Anchorage we held PowerPoint Karaoke challenge. The first two competitors were awesome and the event was very popular. It will definitely be a part of future events. You can watch videos of each competitor’s presentation on their profile page (click their pic). [NOTE: Individual videos are still being processed and are not available yet. You can watch the entire event here though: IA3 Part 1 and IA3 Part 2. PowerPoint Karaoke is at the beginning of IA3 Part 2.]

Live Music
