Have One Small Idea? It Could Spark Big Change. ✨

Ignite is an idea-sharing competition held in over 100 cities worldwide. These events are a venue for innovative thinkers to share their personal and professional passions, using 20 slides that auto-advance every 15 seconds for a total of just 5 minutes.

This spring, Ignite is proud to partner with Quest for a special event centered on the theme One Small Thing. Together, we’re inviting presenters who believe that real change often starts small — with a single idea, story, or spark that can grow into something powerful.

Quest is spearheading a community effort to bring the community together to craft a shared vision for the future of our city, and this collaboration between Quest and Ignite Columbus creates space for voices that inspire action and possibility. Whether you’re sharing a practical solution or a bold idea, your “one small thing” could create a ripple effect that helps Build America’s Best Community.

Applications are now open and will close February 22. If you’ve ever thought, “Someone should do something about this,” maybe that someone is you.

And, if you don’t present, plan to join us for an evening of bold ideas, powerful stories, and community-driven inspiration at Ignite Columbus - One Small Idea.
