    Fantastic PEP Talk - The speakers information was perfect for students of all ages. As a business owner...school is never out for the professional. Thanks to Pawan for his exceptional planning & execution. Looking forward to the next event.

    The PEP Talks are fantastic! This was the first one I attended, and I was very impressed by the entire event. The presenters were genuine and personable, and the content was relevant for professionals and students alike. The passion and energy in the room has inspired me to bring some people with me next time -- I couldn't be more proud of the great work taking place in the Columbus community! And of course, events like these wouldn't be possible without the sponsors. Thank you to TechColumbus and ClearSaleing for sponsoring the event, and to BMW Financial for providing the iPod Touch raffle (very cool -- I never win anything! And we're really enjoying the Mini Cooper game!).

    One of the better meetup type events I've been to. Inspiring talks by inspiring professionals in the Columbus area. Organized and produced very professionally. I will be attending future PEP talks.

    Pawan did an incredible job with the speakers, venue and sponsors, excellent night and no matter if student or 20 year professional, take heart what each speaker tried to instill; career coaching and life balance. Great job, very enjoyable.

    Great information for the students...I wish that the PEP talks were available when I was a student at the Fisher College of Business.
