Town Hall and The Seattle Times present an evening of inspiring stories. All told really fast. And all about education. You'll hear from students, teachers and parents. Talks are presented in the classic Ignite style where each presenter has just 5 minutes onstage using 20 slides that automatically advance every 15 seconds. In addition, there is a Q&A with Seattle Times Education Lab staff.
