What is the Acton Children’s Business Fair?
The Acton Children’s Business Fair inspires children to discover their inner entrepreneur. The largest entrepreneurship event for kids in North America, this one-day market gives children the opportunity to showcase their very own businesses.
How many businesses will you accept for the Kidpreneur Expo?
We will accept up to 30 businesses.
How do I register my child to showcase at the Kidpreneur Expo?
Visit https://www.customizedcommunitymarket.com and select "Vendor Information" from the website menu. Scroll until you see the flyer for the Kidpreneur Expo (purple in color) and October 23rd, click RSVP and it will then direct you to complete the registration form.
Can I register as part of a group?
Please submit one form for each business. Children working as a group should submit one form that includes each child’s information. No more than 3 participants per business.
What if someone else has the same business idea?
Two cupcake businesses? Not a problem. In general, we will let market forces play out, though we will let later entries know if another applicant has a similar idea so the later entrant can decide what to do. If both businesses want to showcase, they will be put on opposite ends of the market.
How will the market be set up?
The market will be an outdoor event with booths. Each vendor will be given a 10x20 space to set up their business displays. Please let us know on your registration form if you need assistance with anything.
Will electricity be available?
Unfortunately, we are not able to provide electricity to the booths.
Are there any rules?
This event is designed to give children the experience of selling a product or service. If a parent is found selling or promoting a child’s product or service, their child’s business will be disqualified from further participation.
Parents of younger children may sit in the booth, but the children should be responsible for set up, customer interaction, and sales.
Parents may help their child fill out the application, but we expect the children to do as much as possible by themselves.
How did the Acton Children’s Business Fair get started?
Jeff and Laura Sandefer and a few other families wanted to spark a sense of wonder and entrepreneurship in their children so they created the first Acton Children’s Business Fair in Austin, Texas, in 2007. That year, there were seven entrepreneurs and around 25 attendees. Now, there are over 115 entrepreneurs and 1,500 attendees at the Acton Children's Business Fair in Austin.
