Observe the opportunity for children to launch their very own startup business!
Originally started in Austin, Texas, the Acton Children's Business Fair (ACBF) has grown to cities including Chicago, Phoenix, Grand Rapids, Dallas, and Los Angeles.
There will be a $25 entry fee per business. Youthpreneurs must be between the ages of 5-17 to participate.
We want to make sure that the youthpreneurs have a positive experience without added pressure; therefore, participants will not be judged for this event.
This event is sponsored by Acton Academy and the Acton School of Business. Other sponsors and partners will be announced in January 2022. We all believe that principled entrepreneurs are heroes and role models for the next generation.
