Better Business Bureau serving Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky will host the inaugural Big Blue Bash luncheon, an event focused on celebrating brilliance in business, on Tuesday, June 27, at the Wildhorse Saloon in Nashville. Guests will join in networking and multiple learning opportunities as well as meet the 2023 BBB Torch Award for Marketplace Trust Winners, Spark Award winners, and some fantastic future leaders, the 2023 Student of Integrity Scholarship recipients.
“Although our business community has struggled with unprecedented obstacles, there are so many stories of entrepreneurial creativity, fortitude, and commitment to trust, regardless of those obstacles. We want to celebrate a new season of growth and stability in the business community,” said Robyn Householder, President and CEO of BBB serving Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky.
Meteorologist Danielle Breezy will be the mistress of ceremonies. She joined News 2 in July 2016, and in 2021 she received the June Bacon-Bercey Award for Broadcast Meteorology. In 2020, she was named one of Nashville Business Journal’s 40 under 40.
Dave Delaney will be the keynote speaker. He has worked with Google, LinkedIn, The UPS Store, FedEx and many more to equip business leaders with the skills needed to lead with empathy. He is the creator of the Nice Method and founder of Futureforth.
The Big Blue Bash event starts at 10 a.m. and ends at 1 p.m. From 10–11 a.m., attendees can participate in workshops featuring tips on maximizing your social media marketing, identifying and developing the right attorney relationship, and how to grow positive reviews on your company that impact its online reputation. During the luncheon from 11 a.m.–1 p.m., Dave Delaney will speak, and BBB will also announce this year’s Torch and Spark Award winners. Students of Integrity scholarship winners will also be recognized for their hard work as they prepare for college.
In the workshops, The Jared Dalton Agency will offer engagement tips for social media, ways to generate leads by advertising, and ways to incorporate marketing into daily business processes. The Review Solutions team will discuss how and why reviews can positively impact a business’s bottom line, the best practices for asking for customer reviews, and how to respond to a review effectively. Representatives from Spencer Fane’s Nashville office explain why every business needs a lawyer before trouble arises and how to find one.
Additionally, Donzaleigh’s Photography will offer free professional head shots to attendees.
