Forbes Under 30 Summit is slated for Boston

BOSTON – The publisher of Forbes magazine has picked Boston, one of the country’s “youngest” cities, as the new home for an annual series of events geared toward millennials striving to one day make its ranking of the world’s richest people, according to a report by The Boston Globe.

Forbes Media announced that the city will host its Under 30 Summit from Oct. 16-19. The company hopes to attract 5,000 people to the four days of events, which will include speakers, concerts, a food festival, a business-plan competition and a “service day” intended to help improve the host city.

The showcase event will be an invitation-only meeting at Faneuil Hall for people connected with the Forbes “30 Under 30” rankings of promising young people in various industries.

Nearly 40 percent of the city’s residents fall in the coveted 18- to 34-year-old demographic, one of the largest contingents of young adults in the nation, according to the Boston Redevelopment Authority. •
