IMPACT Speaker Series spacer
spacer
For seven years the IMPACT Speaker Series has brought highly successful business leaders from a variety of industries to campus to share their experiences and give advice to students and other entrepreneurs on topics ranging from "building a venture around intellectual capital" to "successful entrepreneurship in large organizations."

The weekly series provides Georgia Tech students, alumni, and the Atlanta community an opportunity to network and learn from high tech entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, and notable business leaders.

How to become a speaker:
The IMPACT Speaker Series welcomes local and international business and non-profit leaders to share their experiences with Georgia Tech students. We thank all of them for their time and willingness to interact with the Georgia Tech community.

If you would like to be considered or would like to nominate someone as a speaker, please contact the Institute of Leadership and Entrepreneurship.
*Please note that participation in the IMPACT Speaker Series is considered on voluntary bases.

Construction Entrance:
The front plaza of the College of Management is currently under construction.  The best way to enter the building near the LeCraw Auditorium is off of Armistead Place, on the side of the building between West Peachtree Street and Spring Street.  Two other options for entering the college are on Spring Street across from the Georgia Tech Hotel and Conference Center or through the courtyard off of 5th Street, between Starbucks and Rays Pizza.
