Thank You for Attending This Year’s Educational Forum!
Stay Tuned for 2027.
BestPrep’s 2026 Educational Forum was a huge success!
Nearly 700 guests joined us at the event on February 11 at the Minneapolis Convention Center. Guests gave tremendous feedback on John Hope Bryant’s keynote, praising his authenticity, knowledge, and passion for financial freedom and economic opportunity.
The event also featured musical performances by father-daughter duo, Mat & Savanna Shaw, an engaging panel discussion, and the announcement of the Student Spotlight Competition’s first-place winner, Audrianna Washington of Juxtaposition Arts and Osseo Senior High School. In celebration of BestPrep’s 50th anniversary, founder Bob Kaitz was recognized and received a standing ovation.
A special thank you to the Educational Forum’s wonderful group of sponsors and our media partners who promoted the event.
As we keep the momentum going, stay tuned on how we will continue to celebrate a half-century of BestPrep!
