20 Things Des Moines Needs Right Now by Nathan Wright

Our good friends over at Rock Iowa has edited and put up these Ignite talks from the 2008 edition of Ignite Des Moines.

Olde Main Brewery kicks in Free beer!

Olde Main Brewery out of Ames, IA has offered to provide Ignite Des Moines participants with free beer! We couldn’t be more excited. The beer they have chosen is their very own Longface Amber Ale which we are told is similar to Fat Tire but better. We couldn’t think of a better way to kick off this fun event than to have a local brew to start the party.

A Big Thank You to all our Sponsors

We would like to thank all of our Sponsors for Ignite Des Moines. We wouldn’t be able to have the kind of event that we are planning without the generosity and support of these sponsors: SmartyPig, Paragon IT Pros, Grand Consulting, and Lullabot.  All of our wonderful Sponsors will be judging the egg catapult contest, with the winners recieving SmartyPig gift cards. So be sure to say hello to them and thank them for sponsoring ( it might just earn you some brownie points).
