Beginning in 1997, the Bucksbaum Distinguished Lecture Series has brought the world to Des Moines. Over 40 speakers have shared their experiences and inspired central Iowans through their motivational stories, lessons learned, and encouraging words. In the face of a global pandemic crisis, those memories resonate more than ever.

We look forward to the day we can all gather again at the Knapp Center and the opportunity to welcome you back for the 42^nd Bucksbaum Distinguished Lecture.
