Hey, Hampton Roads! Get ready to level up your summer with the 4th Annual Kidpreneur Expo, happening on August 3rd from 10 AM to 3 PM at the Hampton Roads Convention Center. This year, it’s going to be bigger, better, and more inspiring than ever before. Hosted by The Bennett Center and sponsored by Wingstop, this event is all about empowering young minds and sparking the entrepreneurial spirit in the next generation.

So, what’s the hype all about? The Kidpreneur Expo is your ticket to exploring the world of business and entrepreneurship, no matter your age. This isn’t just any expo—it’s a full-on experience packed with opportunities, learning, and a whole lot of fun.

First up, the giveaways are going to be epic! Imagine walking away with one of five $500 business grants to kickstart your business dreams. And that’s not all—there will be 250 free hoodies, hats, and backpacks loaded with school supplies up for grabs. Talk about a win!

The entertainment lineup is fire. We’ve got performances by Kid DJ and youth recording artist Starr Burss, who are sure to get the party started. Plus, special appearances from Miss VA Teen Dasianae Cross and Virginia Pre-Teen Amber Foreman will add some extra sparkle to the day.

But it’s not just about the freebies and fun. The main goal of the Kidpreneur Expo is to equip young attendees with the knowledge and confidence they need to pursue their entrepreneurial dreams. There will be tons of resources, inspirational talks, and practical advice to help you on your journey to financial freedom.
