2nd Annual Campus Innovation Celebration

We invite all students, faculty, staff, and alumni to engage in Ignite, our flagship campuswide event for innovation, on March 6-7, 2018.

Launched in 2017, Ignite serves as a crossroads of disciplines, experiences, and perspectives. The aim is to bring campus and community innovators together to spark imagination and turn ideas into solutions.

This annual conference is an opportunity to network across departments while sharing insights and hands-on experience. Ignite features speakers, sessions, and competitions with entrepreneurial leaders, exceptional teachers, student innovators, and global partners. A full schedule, registration information and competition details are available online at ignite.ucsd.edu. As a special highlight, we are pleased to offer free admission to a regional startup fair on March 6 and a 20% discount for all UC San Diego affiliates with the code UCSD20. A range of volunteer opportunities are also available. Two-hour shifts receive Volunteer50 credit and offer a free pass to all that Ignite offers.

Last year, more than 30 campus units joined forces to present this exciting event, and we look forward to new and unique contributions. Together, we can tell the story of UC San Diego innovation. For more information, visit ignite.ucsd.edu or email ignite@ucsd.edu.
