FES began its inaugural season November 2006 through May 2007, and today the program is members-only and runs from November through May, with four new speakers each year. At each lecture, FES member organizations receive access to priceless insights and learn strategies that can be applied to make positive impacts at their companies.

Past speakers have included world famous CEOs (such as Carly Fiorina of Hewlett-Packard, Richard Teerlink of Harley-Davidson, Jon Luther of Dunkin Brands and Anne Mulcahy of Xerox) and innovative entrepreneurs and authors (such as C.K. Prahalad, author of "Competing for the Future," Michael Treacy, author of "The Discipline of Market Leaders," and Rod Beckstrom, author of "The Starfish and the Spider").

By participating in each exclusive lecture, your company will be armed with the tools needed to create individual business growth.  It is the ultimate goal of FES to provide attendees the opportunity to build relationships – creating a community of collaboration – to enhance the Central New York business environment with economic vibrancy and innovation.
