The PEP Talks - Connecting Students with Inspiring Local Professionals

5 Speakers, 10 minutes each, 100+ students, Free Pizza for Students

The PEP Talks (PEP stands for Passion, Experience, People) are recurring speaking engagements that showcase local professionals who are passionate about what they do and are eager to share their wisdom to students.

After the brief talks, the audience is then given a chance to network with the speakers and other professionals who attend. Each Event is professionally video taped and immediately tagged, categorized and posted on www.thepeptalks.com. The January 22nd event is our very first event.

This Event's featured speakers are:

The idea is to develop a Central Ohio version of the TED Talks (www.ted.com) but geared towards helping college students find their passion and eventually their career path.

We are constantly looking for professionals who are passionate about their work and are willing to inspire a group of 100 students. We're also always looking for corporate sponsors so that we as the professional community can continue to inspire these young, bright minds.

This Event is Proudly Sponsored by: Business Builders Club, Fast Switch, CallCopy, Inc., BMW Group Financial Services and GroovyDoodle Photography

    Looking forward to this event. We all have tales to share from our experiences in life and everyone loves a good story of something real to sink your teeth into. PEP Talks looks to be yet another excellent idea for Columbus.
