The Belk College of Business is pleased to present next, a speaker series focusing on "tomorrow's ideas - today."

The next series will consist of two events per year, each bringing in top experts or notable figures in the world of business and leadership.  The format will vary, ranging from public lectures to smaller, more intensive sessions with a "thought leader" moderating interactive group discussions.

Eventually,  next may become a yearlong series of programs for Belk College students, alumni and the general public, incorporating special events, community partnerships and executive education.

We hope that next will create opportunities for people to connect with each other, to engage in collaboration and debate, and to take inspiration from our speakers and turn it into action to better themselves and their community.
