TO IGNITE YOUR INNER ROCK STAR

Do you have a burning desire that you want to share with the world? Be a Rock Star for five minutes – deliver a quick fire talk on any subject!

Ignite is an international movement taking place regularly in cities across the globe. Audiences gather to hear five-minute talks on any topic that fascinates the speaker. It’s a friendly and encouraging atmosphere made up of keen listeners who form an appreciative audience.

Liverpool's creative developement agency ACME are launching the brand new network in September. OK it has the same name as the old Liverpool network but we are promised something brand new and a bit more function than the old site, as it has been built from the ground up by Design Agency Splinter. I should know I helped with the user testing, so I hope they took my advice. 

Yes, ACME has been busy reinventing this unique site that promotes Liverpool's creative community, and it will soon be ready for creatives to update their profile and portfolio, and re-connect with others and with your Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn accounts.
