COLUMBUS, Ohio - s4story -- COVID-19 has reshaped life completely, including business conferences. Kary Oberbrunner, CEO of Igniting Souls says, "In a shutdown, you have two choices, you can lie down or you can double down."

When faced with the decision to host the Igniting Souls Conference onsite in Columbus or cancel, Oberbrunner decided to double down for the safety of the attendees and began the hard work of moving the popular conference into the online space.

That decision made, the Igniting Souls team began work to make this 10^th anniversary of the conference the best ever. "A building can't contain us," the author, entrepreneur, coach, and publisher declares.

The Igniting Souls Conference will be held as a worldwide experiential event October 22-25, 2020.

About the Conference

Igniting Souls Conference began in 2010 in a small room in a church basement and has since grown to fill the conference center at Polaris Hilton in Columbus.

October 22^nd kicks off the event with the World's Largest Experiential book signing, from several Barnes & Noble bookstores. Friday is Spark Day, jam-packed with practical business tools and information, and the Author Awards Global Livestream, a formal Oscars-style award ceremony to award literary merit and publishing excellence will be held Friday evening. Over 1,000 authors have entered, only one in each of 16 categories will receive the prize that includes a professionally written press release, features on select podcasts, lifetime access to the 30 Days to a Bigger Stage Experience, and more.
