Guest Speaker: Jennifer Jacobson

Today we welcomed Jennifer Jacobson, organizer of the Johnson County Market – Junque Jamboree, to CEO class. Jennifer shared valuable insight into what it takes to plan and run a large-scale community event and the opportunities it creates for local entrepreneurs.

We are incredibly grateful that Jennifer has generously offered all Johnson County CEO students free booth space at the Junque Jamboree during their time in the program, giving them a real-world platform to market and sell their individual business products. The event draws more than 2,000 shoppers to the Vienna Square each spring and fall—an outstanding opportunity for our students.

After Jennifer’s visit, the class shifted into catch-up mode, completing tasks such as writing thank-you cards and spending time preparing for Pitch Day tomorrow. The nerves are there, but these students are ready to shine!
