Ignite Tampa Bay is accepting submissions for the upcoming event on January 2012 and we couldn't be more excited! If you're reading this blog, you should be thinking about submitting because WE WANT YOU! You may be wondering,

What should I submit a topic about?

Well, what are you passionate about?
