Through hands-on activities and connections with local entrepreneurs, business leaders, and community mentors, students will explore the characteristics of successful entrepreneurs, identify their own strengths and interests, and consider how their skills can be used to solve problems and create value. Along the way, they will strengthen their confidence, creativity, teamwork, and leadership abilities.

Held just days before Global Entrepreneurship Week, the summit will celebrate and inspire Sacramento’s next generation of founders, problem-solvers, and changemakers.
