As part of our 2026 vision, we are excited to expand and enhance our event offerings to support children in developing their own businesses and skills.
Building on the success of last year’s Kids Expo and Kids Business Fairs, we are growing the format to include the Kids Business Forum—an event designed to help children bring their business ideas to life. This forum will provide opportunities for kids to pitch ideas in formats like Shark Tank or Idea Crush sessions, collaborate with peers, participate in contests, create business plans, and even launch real businesses.
Our experience in building large innovation pipelines and startup ecosystems for adults inspires us to create similar opportunities tailored specifically for children’s business projects and startups.
We plan to host Kids Business Forum events in multiple states beyond California, depending on available resources and partnerships. Alongside these, a series of smaller events will lead up to the main Kids Expo, scheduled for the first week of November 2026.
We invite individuals, businesses, and organizations interested in partnering, supporting, or helping organize these events to connect with us.
