RI Future Leaders Summit

RI Future Leaders Summit — Student Showcase

The summit gives high school students the opportunity to explore what it takes to turn an idea into something real. Students will have the chance to showcase their business ideas, nonprofit concepts, and entrepreneurial goals while connecting with local business leaders, mentors, educators, and community partners.

What to Expect

• Student Showcase: Students will have the opportunity to share their ideas, projects, products, and entrepreneurial goals in a format that works best for them.
• Getting Started: Explore what it takes to turn an idea into a business and learn from local entrepreneurs and business experts.
• Community Connections: Meet business leaders, mentors, educators, and community partners who are invested in supporting young entrepreneurs.
• Student Pitches: Hear directly from students as they share their ideas, goals, and what they’re building.
• Networking: Connect with students and members of the Eastern Massachusetts business community.

This is not a competition. It’s an opportunity for students to build confidence, ask questions, make connections, and gain real-world insight from people who have experience building businesses and organizations.

Come meet Rhode Island's emerging entrepreneurs, hear their ideas, and help create connections that can take those ideas to the next level.
