Speaker Series
The Lester Center sponsors three speaker series, two of which are open to members of the community as well as students, faculty and staff:
- UC Berkeley Entrepreneurs Forum - Presentations held twice a semester during the academic year featuring a networking hour followed by a presentation on a topic of interest to entrepreneurs, venture capitalists and members of supporting professional organizations.
- Entrepreneurial Best Practices Series - Events designed to help entrants to the UC Berkeley Startup Competition and the Global Social Venture Competition develop their business ideas. These highly practical sessions are also open to the general public at no cost. Please visit the Best Practices Series website for registration information.
- A. Richard Newton Distinguished Innovator Lecture Series/Life as an Entrepreneur Series - Events featuring distinguished entrepreneurs from organizations at various stages of development and representing a broad range of industries. Entrepreneurs talk about how their organizations were created and share the lessons they learned. This speaker series is only open to students.

Famous quotes containing the words speaker and/or series:
“The most attractive sentences are, perhaps, not the wisest, but the surest and roundest. They are spoken firmly and conclusively, as if the speaker had a right to know what he says, and if not wise, they have at least been well learned.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Depression moods lead, almost invariably, to accidents. But, when they occur, our mood changes again, since the accident shows we can draw the world in our wake, and that we still retain some degree of power even when our spirits are low. A series of accidents creates a positively light-hearted state, out of consideration for this strange power.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
