What Lights Your Fire? Innovation. Technology. The arts. The environment. Life hacks. Nonprofit passions. Whatever sparks your curiosity, Ignite Annapolis puts it on stage. 16 speakers take the Maryland Hall stage to share an idea, passion, perspective, or personal “message to the universe” in five minutes. The format is simple and anything but ordinary: 20 slides, 15 seconds per slide, five minutes total. No long lectures, no sales pitches, just fast, fun presentations from people with something worth saying. Since its first Annapolis event in 2009, Ignite has created a space for thought leaders, passionate advocates, creative minds, and curious voices to share what gets them fired up. Now, Ignite Annapolis returns for another night of unexpected ideas, fresh perspectives, and plenty to talk about after the lights go down. This event is produced by Maryland Hall in partnership with Annapolis-based non-profit Leadership Anne Arundel. Date: Tuesday, October 20, 2026 Networking & Happy Hour: 6PM Show Start: 7PM
