The Vegas Chamber will host its annual trade show for local businesses on June 24.

Business Expo is free to attend and will run from noon to 5 p.m. at The Expo at World Market Center, according to a news release from the Vegas Chamber.

The event aims to bring together business professionals by offering opportunities to build relationships and gain exposure to new products and services.

Mary Beth Sewald, the president and CEO of the Vegas Chamber, wrote in a statement that the Business Expo showcases “the strength and diversity” of the local business community.

“The Vegas Chamber is focused on connecting businesses to the resources, relationships, and information they need to succeed, and Business Expo brings those opportunities together in one place, where ideas are exchanged and businesses of all sizes can thrive,” Sewald stated.

This year’s event will feature a Baby Shark Tank Competition, where teen entrepreneurs will present ideas and receive live feedback. There will also be a dedicated area that will feature a dozen small business support organizations including the Nevada Department of Business & Industry and Nevada Small Business Development Center.

Ted Talk-style sessions led by Vegas Chamber members will cover business trends, innovation and strategies for success. There will also be the opportunity for attendees to sample food from local restaurants and explore themed booths from exhibitors offering tools, technology and services relating to business development.
