Got a side hustle? Ready to take it to the next level? CSN is rolling out the red carpet for student entrepreneurs at the Side Hustle Expo on May 1, 2025, at the CSN North Las Vegas Campus—and trust us, you won’t want to miss it.
The Expo, in partnership with the City of North Las Vegas, the NV Capital Readiness Program (NVCRP), EmployNV, and the Nevada Small Business Development Center (SBDC), is designed to help students showcase their businesses, connect with resources, and get expert advice to turn their hustle into something bigger.
Here’s the game plan:
Throughout April, the Small Business Connector (SBC) will provide one-on-one advisory services to help participants fine-tune their pitches, business models, and strategies before the big day. On Expo Day, an expert judging panel—including reps from SBED, the City of NLV, NVCRP, EmployNV, and SBDC—will be on hand to give feedback and guidance.
And it doesn’t stop there! From June to July 2025, students can attend a seven-part workshop series covering everything from business planning and marketing to financial management and long-term growth.
Oh, and did we mention the prizes? Forty students will walk away with well-earned recognition, including:
Thanks to SBED and Blackstone LaunchPad, for the prizes!
So, if you’re a student entrepreneur—or just someone who loves cheering on the next big thing—mark your calendar.
