Welcome to 'Lighting the Fire'.

 

We've organized this day of talks because we believe that ideas and talking about them, really can change your life and that good company and good food are a great way of sharing them.

 

This is a day for curious people who like to find out about new things, hear about different lives and other people's experiences.

 

It's day for realizing that anything is possible.

 

Thank you to all our wonderful speakers who have so generously come from far and wide to be with us and tell us about how their fire was lit.
