The Jim Moran Institute for Global Entrepreneurship created the Advice Straight Up speaker series to provide our region's business leaders and entrepreneurs access to nationally recognized speakers who can share their experiences in launching new ventures and building innovative businesses.

The 2011-2012 speaker series will feature four luncheon presentations with high-profile speakers and culminate with a national conference for business leaders and entrepreneurs in summer 2012.

The accomplished panel of speakers not only demonstrates genuine passion for entrepreneurship but will also share practical, valuable insight about surviving in today's aggressive business marketplace.
