The Buffalo Talks Speaker Series is held at the Buffalo & Erie County Public Library, and is free to the public. Attendees are welcome to bring their own lunch. This event has been put on hiatus and will be used only as critical topics arise that need to be offered to our membership.

The purpose of the event is to present timely subjects in an informal atmosphere, affording attendees a genuine interaction with the speakers. The series focuses on City and Downtown, with past series featuring Downtown Developers, Business Leaders, Waterfront Development, Cultural Heritage and Educational Leaders.
