Ignite 2019 built on the momentum of the inaugural conference and showed that Ignite was quickly becoming an annual gathering leaders across the region did not want to miss. The second year featured Brittany Wagner, star of Netflix’s Last Chance U, along with local entrepreneurs Josh West and Nick Weaver, who shared the story of building Blue Delta Jeans Co. into a successful bespoke blue jean company.
The lineup also included New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Greg McKeown, who challenged attendees with ideas from his book Essentialism and the importance of focusing on what matters most. With another strong crowd, compelling speakers and continued community support, Ignite 2019 strengthened the conference’s foundation and helped establish it as a lasting leadership tradition.
