The second annual TechFire Ignite Summit on May 28 in Santa Monica will feature high-profile CEOs from Silicon Valley — speakers of the caliber that they've also taken the stage at some of the world's leading tech conferences.

Last year, TechFire hosted seven events attracting 1,700-plus registrants from Los Angeles, San Francisco, and as far away as Miami and even Istanbul, who came to network and to hear prominent speakers like venture capitalists from Sand Hill Road firms like Kleiner Perkins & Greylock, and some of L.A.'s leading startup CEOs.

Speakers include: Sam Shank, Co-Founder & CEO, HotelTonight; Tony Conrad, Co-Founder & CEO, about.me; & Partner, True Ventures. Dan Morehead, Founder & CEO, Pantera Capital; Therese Tucker, Founder, CEO & Chairman, BlackLine; Brandee Barker, Co-Founder & Partner, The Pramana Collective.

TechFire Ignite 2015 will be Thursday, May 28, in downtown Santa Monica. Doors open for networking at 8 a.m., and the program begins at 9 a.m.
