Greetings, Ignition developers, integrators, dreamers and community members! It is time for our intrepid travelers to return once again to the legendary Lands of Ignition for the Build-a-Thon. In case you haven’t heard about the illustrious Build-a-Thon, let me give you a quick overview of what it is and how it works.
The Build-a-Thon is a real-time competition open to all Premier Integrators. The first stage is the Elimination Challenge, a virtual series of Ignition-based puzzles that will test your teamwork, problem-solving, and finesse. The two teams to complete this Elimination Challenge first will be invited to the second stage of the Build-a-Thon, where they’ll compete live onstage this September during our annual Ignition Community Conference!
Embark On Your Adventure
For those Premier Integrators ready to test their Ignition skills and battle a few foes along the way, we invite you to apply here by May 25th. You will need to gather a crew that is brave of heart and strong of SCADA to make it through the epic challenge that awaits.
Spectators Welcome!
Premier Integrators may be leading the charge through the Lands, but this competition is not just for our integrators to experience. Join us for a livestream of the Elimination Challenge on August 7th where myself, Kevin McClusky and Kent Melville will chat with our challenge developers, analyze the ups and downs of the competition, and interact live with the Ignition community.
The Exchange Challenge Beckons
The Build-a-Thon may just be for our Premier Integrators, but the Exchange Challenge is open to the whole Ignition community. If you are looking to show off your Ignition skills by crafting helpful resources that anyone in the community can use, this challenge is for you! Qualifying is simple: Just upload a resource to the Ignition Exchange anytime from September 1, 2024 through August 31st, 2025. All publicly uploaded resources will be eligible. Our winning resources will be featured during the Build-a-Thon live onstage at ICC and on the Exchange website. We look forward to seeing all of the amazing resources you create!
The Competition Culminates At ICC 2025
Make sure to save the date for the live Build-a-Thon event on September 18th where you will see our final two competitors and the announcement of our Exchange Challenge winners.
Don’t delay! The time is nigh for you to gather your crew and test your Ignition skills. Join us as we visit the Lands of Ignition for the last time before we explore a whole new Build-a-Thon destination in 2026!
