Witness firsthand as ambitious entrepreneurs pitch their groundbreaking business concepts, competing for a $20,000 first place grant, a $10,000 second place grant, and a $2,500 third place award. It's not just about the competition; it's about supporting and empowering the leaders of tomorrow.

Additionally, the event offers a bustling small business activation, insightful panels featuring alumni speakers and community leaders, and ample opportunities to network with corporate exhibitors eager to connect with small businesses. Learn about franchise opportunities, the small business accelerator, and how to innovate within your own ventures.
