The summit, a gathering of the world’s top young entrepreneurs, innovators, and creators, will feature a star-studded lineup of speakers and performers. Attendees can expect appearances from Olympic champions Suni Lee and Massai Russell, actors including Lili Reinhart, a Cleveland native, and Anna Cathcart, as well as global music stars like Rosé of BLACKPINK and Alex Warren.
Notable Ohio figures such as Jeni Britton, founder of Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams, and former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy are also set to participate. The complete list of speakers and performers is available on the Forbes 30 Under 30 Summit website.

This marks the third consecutive year the summit has been held in Ohio, following Cleveland in 2023 and Cincinnati in 2024. JobsOhio President and CEO J.P. Nauseef praised the momentum:
“The Under 30 Summits in Cleveland and Cincinnati showed why top companies and entrepreneurs are increasingly choosing Ohio. Columbus will now showcase its thriving culture, business opportunities, and innovation ecosystem.”
To highlight Columbus as a hub of culture and entrepreneurship, the summit will include local industry tours, city-wide experiences, community service activities, and locally-sourced culinary showcases.
“Forbes is proud to bring this global community of leaders to Columbus,” said Leann Bonanno, Forbes Chief Sales and Marketing Officer. “This summit will spotlight the city’s entrepreneurial spirit and growing influence on the national stage.”
