California Competition & Trade Show

Thousands of VE students joined together on January 17th-18th for the Virtual Enterprise California Conference and Trade Exhibition

The state event, organized at Mechanics Bank Theater and Convention Center, welcomed VE students from the Western Region and beyond, representing 71 firms in total. This competition allowed them to showcase their entrepreneurial skills and connect with professionals, educators, and peers. Over a month of preparations and deadlines have led to VE firms competing in different categories such as Business Plan, Marketing, and Human Resources, among others. Their astounding presentations have secured them a spot in the upcoming Youth Business Summit in New York City in April.

Thank you to the Mechanics Bank Theatre and Convention Center and the judges for making this event happen.

Congratulations to the firms who made it into the final results!
