About Lunch Break

Welcome to BDI Lunch Break, our new blog dedicated to providing useful information for marketing and communications professionals that attend, speak or sponsor conferences. To keep our events current, innovative, and interesting, the team at BDI meets weekly over lunch to discuss strategy, topics, and new technologies.  We would like to share some of our discussions and thoughts with our participants and supporters. Each member of the BDI team has diverse experiences, opinions, and methods of working that have played a key role in the success of Business Development Institute. We would like to lend out our thoughts and words of advice so that our followers could get the most of our events, networking, and social media.
