The Turner Center for Entrepreneurship of Bradley University and InspireCX are proud to present BEST Talks. The BEST Talks are a series of presentations of cutting-edge information, focusing on what is important for businesspeople to know today in order to be prepared for the future, similar to the TED Talks.

“BEST” stands for “Business, Experience, Strategy and Technology.” Each BEST Talk is a one-and-one-half hour meeting, over lunch, on the second Tuesday of each month, at the Peoria Next Innovation Center, 801 W Main Street. The focus of each meeting is two 15-minute presentations by business leaders, with opportunities for networking. There will be a series of six BEST-Talks.

The first BEST Talk event is: Tuesday, October 8, 11:30 AM – 1:00 PM. Gary Chatham and Christine Shay of InspireCX will present: “Make your Business a Customer Magnet through Customer Experience Optimization,” and Chris Waible of Dewberry will speak on: “How a Branded Environment can Build your Business.”

The talks are open to all business owners. For more information and to register for BEST Talks, go to www.best-talks.com.

The BEST Talks are unique, in that Peoria businesspeople will have an opportunity to delve deeper into each topic with the speaker after the presentation. The week following the meeting, there will be an opportunity to attend a free webinar or video chat, in which the speakers will present more detailed information on their topic (Not all speakers may present a webinar).
