About this Event

Join us for a powerful afternoon of recognition, inspiration, and action at the inaugural State of Inland Empire Entrepreneurship Address & Awards, hosted by the BBOP Center in partnership with Entrepreneur High School.

Why It Matters:

This is more than an awards ceremony; it’s a moment to reflect on the entrepreneurs of the Inland Empire who are not only building businesses but also building hope, equity, and pathways forward.
