At the apex of the COBE Speakers Series pyramid will be the Dean’s Forum. The Dean’s Forum will be a series of events held at various times throughout the year at which nationally and internationally recognized individuals deliver presentations and lectures on topics of broad interest to the academic and business community. The presenters are arranged by the COBE leaders and through partnerships with local private and public sector organizations. The Dean’s Forum presentations will be held during the evening in the Skaggs Hall of Learning in the new Micron Business and Economics Building at Boise State University starting in Fall of 2012. Depending on the event, an admission fee may be required.

In conjunction with major presentation, the speaker is available for other special events on campus and in the community. For example, workshops could be arranged with executives from the business community or the speaker could be available for consulting or in-house education sessions.
