We need your money, honey!

As a 100% volunteer-run event, we rely on the generosity of local bloggers, companies and other organizations to bring Ignite Austin to life. Every dime we raise goes right back into the event to pay for space, nibbles & noshes, libations, promotion, equipment and other expenses. If you or your company would like to contribute, please contact us. With your help, Ignite Austin will be an event no one in Austin will want to miss.

Google FiberFiber_Austin

As the web has gotten faster, it has also gotten more useful — activities like streaming movies, storing files online, video chatting and more were all enabled by broadband connections over a decade ago, and the next chapter of the web will run on even faster speeds.

There continues to be huge interest from consumers and communities in faster broadband. That’s why we want to bring more people access to Google Fiber — Internet that’s up to 100 times faster than basic broadband. We’ve started early discussions with 34 cities in 9 metro areas around the United States to explore what it would take to bring a new fiber-optic network to their community.
