Ignite Liverpool 2 was held on 15^thApril 2010 – 6-8pm Contemporary Urban Centre, 41 Greenland Street, Liverpool,

The event had a fantastic array of speakers, was well attended and even had 30 people watching on the Live Stream even though the presentations themselves weren't showing up. The organisers were really pleased with the event as so were the attendees in the flesh. It is quite certain that these ignite vents are due to become a regular feature on the Liverpool tech and geekery scene. There are more Video's to come but here is what we have for now.

Speakers included Dr Lorriane Warren discussing Value Creation in the Creative Industries.

Alistair Houghton, Liverpool Daily Posts business reporter and keen attender at Ignite Liverpool events shared his passion for Wimpy Restaurants and what a passion. it has seen him travel up and down the country discovering the out of the way places where Wimpy's are still open. they tend to be in obscure places where Burger King doesn't want to invest. He also loves the events so much he blogs about them. Excellent reportage I might add LDP CREATIVE Twitter Handle @wimpyking
