About
The Virtual Speaker Series provides interactive, low-cost, live, virtual, entrepreneurship broadcasts featuring the country’s top young entrepreneurs. Hosts can choose from one or both of the following tracks:
| Before | During | After |
|---|---|---|
| Participants can pose questions to the speaker and vote on questions they’d like answered during the live broadcast. | Speakers deliver a short keynote presentation followed by Q&A from the audience and emcee. Each event lasts for 1.5 hours and can be broadcast to an auditorium audience or shared individually to distance learners. | The broadcast is turned into full video, video clips, audio, notes, a transcript, and teaching materials that can be used by hosts in the classroom or shared with participants as archives. |
Participants who attend and participate in 8 of the 10 events receive a certificate.
