It’s Trade Show Day! 🎉

After months of hard work, creativity, and growth, our Jackson County CEO Class of 2026 is ready to showcase their businesses to the community. These young entrepreneurs have built their ideas from the ground up, and tonight is their moment to share it all with you.

Join us this evening:
📍 Dunn-Richmond Economic Development Center
📍 1740 Innovation Dr. Carbondale, IL
🕓 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM

Come out, meet the students, support local entrepreneurship, and see firsthand the innovation happening right here in Jackson County. Special thanks to Legence for sponsoring a $250 cash prize for the best trade show booth setup, which will be awarded tonight, and to Dr. Jeffert Burgin, Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs, for sponsoring tonight’s trade show.

We would love to see a great crowd tonight as we also celebrate 11 years of CEO in our community. Bring a friend, share this post, and help us make it a night these students will never forget. #JacksonCEO
