In the following video Alexis Bauer shares a step by step guide to working a crowd and how you can be the agent at any party or gathering who causes the social scene there to blossom.

    Interesting article,
    But I love the Ignite format, sounds like a really different kind of event.

    Can’t wait for some motivated people around here to have a crack at their own Ignite evening (plus if enough people rock up, you can apply these working the crowd techniques).
