It's a show, not a seminar
Part talk show, part late-night couch. Our emcee sits down with each leader — so it feels like a conversation, not a lecture.

One night. The next generation of leaders, live.
BizBuild and Empower Teens United are joining forces to put entrepreneurs and social impact leaders in front of a live, 300-seat audience — to present what they're building and connect with the people who'll build the future with them.

Real student leaders
Four to five high school and college entrepreneurs and social impact leaders take the stage to share what they're actually building — wins, lessons, and all.
03
Built for networking
Thirty minutes of mingling before, thirty after. Meet other entrepreneurs and social impact leaders, mentors, and collaborators in the room.
