Ignite26/27
Sessions

The rhythm that carries the year

Ignite runs alongside full-time client work. Sessions are chosen deliberately — frequent enough to keep momentum, rare enough to be realistic. Total: about six to seven hours a week.

Session types

Masterclass

Rytme
Every other week
Varighet
90 minutes
Sted
Teams — recording always shared

Focused sessions with demo first, principles after. Provides shared direction and language. Fixed daytime rhythm as part of the work week.

Eksempler

  • · How to set up an eval pipeline
  • · Observability: where does it burn most?
  • · AI economics and FinOps in practice

Dojo

Rytme
Monthly
Varighet
90 minutes
Sted
Teams

Peer learning from real client experiences. 2–3 Ignitere share what they have met at the client in the last 30 days. The cohort's most valuable learning arena.

Eksempler

  • · How I handled our first production incident
  • · When the client wanted AI where it did not fit
  • · Evaluation when the data is messy

Frontier Friday

Rytme
Monthly (Friday lunch)
Varighet
60 minutes
Sted
Teams

One Igniter presents new technology, paper or tool from the last 30 days. Builds the habit of continuous learning and keeps curriculum alive.

Eksempler

  • · New model releases and what they mean
  • · Paper review from NeurIPS or ICML
  • · New open-source framework we should test

Lab weekend

Rytme
Quarterly
Varighet
Full weekend (Saturday–Sunday)
Sted
Teams in groups

Hands-on build on a realistic case. Each group has a mentor. Goal: a runnable module + concrete artefact usable in your own portfolio.

Eksempler

  • · Build a business case (Q1)
  • · First agent with RAG (Q2)
  • · SLO dashboard (Q3)
  • · Change argument for leadership (Q4)

Once (31 August – 1 September 2026)
Varighet

Physical

The year's emotional anchor. The cohort meets, forms, and sets the bar for what Ignite means. Team building, demo culture, shared standards.

Eksempler

  • · Team formation and cohort contract
  • · First demo day
  • · Standard workshop: what does an Ignite consultant deliver?

Graduation

Rytme
Once (June 2027)
Varighet
2 days
Sted
Physical

Jury review, cross-learning and celebration. Each Igniter presents their Alliance case to the jury, defends orally, and receives the Ignite Certified Consultant title.

Eksempler

  • · Jury rounds: technical, adoption, regulatory
  • · Portfolio presentation
  • · Certification and handover
