Forty-five minutes that change what your members do on Monday.
An IB7 EDGE Talk is a free session for a chamber, association or member webinar. One border question, answered with live intelligence on a real example, ending in three checks every company in the room can run themselves.
Member programming that is not another sponsor pitch.
The session has to earn the room's time on its own. If nobody books anything afterwards, the host has still put on a good hour.
It costs the host nothing
No fee, no sponsorship, no minimum attendance. We bring the content, the slides and the takeaway.
It is specific
One question, answered. Not an overview of exporting, not a tour of our services.
It tunes to your sector
The question and the method stay the same; the examples, regions and regulations change to match your membership.
Forty-five minutes, then up to fifteen of questions.
What the session will answer, and why it matters this quarter rather than in general.
The trade, tariff or regulatory shift behind the question, with the data on screen and the sources named.
We run one output on a public example in the room — a real company or sector, scored while they watch.
What every company present can go and check on its own, this week, without hiring anyone.
Open floor. This is usually where the room tells us what it actually needs.
A takeaway, not a brochure.
One idea
The single thing worth acting on, stated in a sentence.
Three checks
Specific, free, and doable by whoever runs the business.
A one-page takeaway
The data on screen, the sources, and the three checks.
Where you stand
An optional four-question read that names your phase.
A named next step
If there is one. Sometimes the honest answer is “not yet”.
No sales call
We follow up once, by email, with what we said we would send.
Ten we deliver today.
Any of them can be tuned to the host's sector without becoming a different session. New topics are built when a host commits a date.

A single company that wants this depth on its own case is asking for an IB7 EDGE Lab, which is the paid, hands-on version of the same question.
