brings together techies, artists, entrepreneurs, academics, and others to share their ideas and insights in fast-paced, Pecha Kucha style presentations. Presenters each get five minutes to speak on the topic of their choice, as well as 20 slides that automatically advance every 15 seconds – no matter what.

In a new partnership with Creative Oklahoma, IgniteOKC 4 has been selected as the official after party for Creative Oklahoma’s State of Creativity Forum 2012.

"Collaborating with IgniteOKC was a natural evolution for Creative Oklahoma," said Susan McCalmont, President of Creative Oklahoma. "The energy, and sharing of projects and ideas, that this event brings to Oklahoma City is the perfect way to end the day for the State of Creativity Forum. We are excited to work with IgniteOKC and spread the word that Oklahoma is the official State of Creativity."

The one-day forum at the Cox Convention Center in downtown Oklahoma City will host approximately 1,500 attendees from across the state and nation, including policymakers, students, entrepreneurs, innovators, business leaders, educators, technology experts and more. Keynote speakers for the State of Creativity Forum include internationally recognized creativity and education leader and author, Sir Ken Robinson, and Chairman and CEO of the XPRIZE Foundation, Peter Diamandis.

“We’re very excited about this new partnership with Creative Oklahoma and their State of Creativity Forum,” said Michelle Briggs, IgniteOKC 4 event chair. “Our first three events were very well received by the business and creative communities in Oklahoma City, and we’re building on that momentum by joining forces with such a dynamic event.”
