BestPrep’s Educational Forum

Join us at U.S. Bank Stadium for a huge 45th anniversary celebratory and educational event on February 28, 2022! Keynote speaker and author Emmanuel Acho will bring his popular web series to the BestPrep Educational Forum. Two 25-minute conversations will be held on stage, one with key Twin Cities D&I executives and one with area high school students. The event will also include musical entertainment from Counting Stars, with performers formerly trained by One Voice Children’s Choir, and commentary from the evening’s emcee, WCCO Radio’s Cory Hepola.

Emmanuel Acho is a former NFL linebacker and current Fox Sports Analyst, co-host for FS1’s “Speak For Yourself,” and Host/Producer/Author of the web series “Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man” on driving an open, difficult, but ultimately productive conversation on race in America. Greatly impacted by the murder of George Floyd, Acho began hosting the web series. In partnership with Oprah Winfrey, he released a book of the same title last November that debuted at #3 on the New York Times best sellers list.

Registration to come soon!
