Ignite, hosted by the Great Falls Development Authority has become the main business kick-off event of the decade in Great Falls.

The format for the event is pretty simple: speakers delivered a three-minute presentation to over two hundred other presenters, community businesses and local leaders in Great Falls.

The Great Falls Development Authority says it’s important to see this growth and while they look for more people to move to great falls, business growth allows them to do so and it’s essential for everyone.

“We’re looking to make sure that we are a team. And that is the one point in our strategic plan, our new strategic plan that we can’t emphasize enough. While Great Falls Development Authority is a catalyst and we pull partners together, we can’t do it all. It takes everybody… It takes action and it takes people feeling like they’re part of the team. And right now, here’s your open invite. You’re part of Team Great Falls. Come be part of Team Great Falls and let’s do this together,” said Jolene Schalper, Senior Vice President at GFDA.
