Palm Springs Life has announced its 2025 ‘40 Under 40’ honorees, recognizing young leaders in the Coachella Valley who are making significant contributions to the region. The announcement was made in partnership with Presenting Sponsor Agua Caliente Casinos. The honorees come from a range of fields including hospitality, civic service, nonprofits, entrepreneurship, and innovation.
The recognition is given to individuals under the age of 40 who have demonstrated leadership and commitment to their local community. Honorees were selected through a nomination and vetting process. The program began in 2006 and is held every three to four years.
A private celebration event for this year’s cohort will take place on Wednesday, October 15 at the Thompson Hotel in downtown Palm Springs. The full list of honorees will be featured in the October 2025 issue of Palm Springs Life and is also available online at palmspringslife.com/40-under-40.

It’s a joy to share their stories, and we look forward to celebrating their achievements at the Thompson in Palm Springs.”
