What does it mean to build a legacy in a state as diverse as Nevada? This conversation, hosted by Shawna Wells of 7Gen Legacy, explores how cultural identity, historical context, and intergenerational thinking shape the way we invest in the future. Panelists will share how their work in economic development, education, and community empowerment is rooted in legacy-building—intentionally creating the conditions for the next generation to thrive.
Together, we’ll examine the intersection of personal purpose and collective progress, asking: How do we ensure our systems, institutions, and initiatives reflect the richness of Nevada’s people? And how can we make legacy-building not just a personal mission, but a shared strategy for regional success?
This session invites placebuilders, community leaders, and ecosystem builders to reflect on their own role in shaping a more inclusive and enduring vision for Nevada’s entrepreneurial and civic future.

Small business owners and founders across Nevada often ask the same question: Where do I go to find the support I need to grow? The answer is here.
Join us for a dynamic resource panel unveiling the Nevada Business Hub powered by EcoMap—a brand new digital platform designed to make navigating Nevada’s business ecosystems easier, smarter, and more accessible. This session will dive into how the platform works, what resources it connects to, and how it’s being built in collaboration with ecosystem leaders to serve entrepreneurs statewide.
Panelists from EDAWN, Nevada SBDC, Make Startups, and EcoMap will share insights into the challenges founders face when seeking support, what it takes to map a diverse and decentralized ecosystem, and how this hub is streamlining connections to capital, mentorship, space, services, and more.
