# Ignite Portland 3: And the burning ideas are…

[![Ignite Portland 3](https://i0.wp.com/siliconflorist.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/promoigniteportland03.gif?w=925)](http://igniteportland.com "Ignite Portland 3")Who could top the presentations of [Ignite Portland](http://siliconflorist.com/2007/10/25/ignite-portland-was-insert-your-favorite-fire-related-metaphor-here/ "Ignite Portland") and [Ignite Portland 2](http://siliconflorist.com/2008/02/06/ignite-portland-2-pretend-you-attended-or-relive-the-experience/ "Ignite Portland 2")?

Well, if anyone has a chance, it’s these fine folks who’ve been selected to present at [Ignite Portland 3](http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/548764/ "Ignite Portland 3").

That’s right. The [Ignite Portland 3 presentations have been announced](http://www.igniteportland.com/2008/06/announcing-ignite-3-presentations/ "Ignite Portland 3 presentations").

Drum roll please. And the lucky 13 are (in order of appearance):

- [How to buy a car for under $1,000](http://ignite-proposals.pragmaticraft.com/proposals/23) – Kevin Fox
- [Making Sense of Carbon Offsets](http://ignite-proposals.pragmaticraft.com/proposals/55) – Ewan O’Leary

And, while the free “guaranteed entrance” tickets sold out in a little over 24 hours, there’s still room for you to attend Ignite Portland 3. Get there early and I’m sure you’ll get into the venue.

If you’re even considering attending, [please take a second to RSVP for Ignite Portland 3 on Upcoming](http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/548764/ "RSVP for Ignite Portland 3") so the organizers have an accurate count of how many people they’ll have to turn away will be showing up.

I’m looking forward to seeing you there.
