Do we need to book a hotel through Ignite?

We strongly encourage booking with us, and we have arranged discounts with local hotels. We are working hard on getting the link to you!

What can we bring/not bring to the event?

  • Rolling carts are permitted at the event. There are a few flights of stairs and elevators available to go between the pits and the competition area.

  • We are not permitting Power Tools (with blades) onsite, including Dremels. Electric air pumps are permitted.

    The intention behind this rule is to prevent damage to property, such as tables, carpets, etc. We need to be respectful of the space we are in, and as such, it is very difficult to ensure power tools are used in a way that will be safe for the students and the building.
