What is a Young CEO
popup market
A pop-up market is a temporary retail event or marketplace that "pops up" in a location for a short duration. Our popup market is a one-day event. The Young CEO market offers the oppertunity for program participants to sell handmade crafts, artisanal goods, food and beverages, or other unique products.
Our Young CEO Pop-up markets are known for their vibrant atmosphere, where shoppers can discover one-of-a-kind items and support local young entrepreneurs.
The popup market may occur indoors in venues such as event spaces or community centers, or outdoors in parks, parking lots, or public squares.
Pop-up markets offer an exciting opportunity for Young CEO's to showcase their products, connect with customers, and test out new ideas in a temporary and low-risk setting.
