2025 Forbes Under 30 Summit

EVENT IN BRIEF

It kicked off in Cleveland, continued in Cincinnati and culminated in Columbus. With that, a three-year run of holding the Forbes 30 Under 30 Summit in Ohio has come to a close.

But Forbes didn’t end this chapter without making an impression on the downtown and the young minds who gathered there for four days of smart talk, cool parties and new connections.

The event at the Greater Columbus Convention Center featured standout Under 30 honorees of stage, sport and business. Creators shared tips on managing brand partnerships, and for the first time, the event included an AI track that dedicated an entire morning to the topic.

“We have entered a new golden age of young entrepreneurship and that is because of AI,” Forbes Chief Content Officer Randall Lane said when opening the summit. “It’s never been a better time to be a young disruptor in the world than where we are right now.”
