Will You be Joining us for EO25?

There’s still time to secure your spot at Employee Owned 2025, the largest and most dynamic gathering of employee owners, ESOP companies, and professional ESOP service providers in the world. The reimagined EO25 takes place November 2–5, 2025, at a new location, the renowned Aria Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.
More than just a conference, EO25 is a bold redesign of what an employee ownership event can be. With fresh programming, nationally-recognized speakers, and unforgettable celebrations, this year’s gathering is brand new and designed to energize, educate, and connect the ESOP community like never before.
EO25 is all about elevated learning. With more than 100 educational sessions spanning seven tailored learning tracks, attendees can dive into topics that match their interests and roles. Whether you're an employee owner, executive leader, board member, or professional service provider, there’s a place for you to learn, grow and network at EO25. For those pursuing professional development, EO25 also offers the opportunity to earn up to 12 continuing education credits.
This year’s event also features brand-new adult education workshops, developed specifically to help attendees apply knowledge in real-world settings. Led by nationally recognized education expert Erica Beck Spencer, these reimagined workshops are immersive, practical, and highly engaging, and are designed to leave you with new strategies and actionable insights. You’ll get to experience first-hand the launch of TEA’s integrated modern approach to adult learning, gaining hands-on experience through a participatory classroom setting.
EO25 is also going all-in on celebration and inspiration. Bringing the energy of Las Vegas to life, the event features not one but two exciting keynote speakers: Sugar Ray Leonard and Kevin Pollak. Sugar Ray Leonard is a boxing legend and Olympic gold medalist who plans to deliver a powerful keynote on peak performance, perseverance, and leadership. Kevin Pollak, renowned actor and comedian perhaps best known for his roles in The Usual Suspects and A Few Good Men, will host the event’s opening celebration with his signature wit and charm. Together, these speakers will set the stage for a transformative conference, bringing a Hollywood flair to the event.
Also, be sure to check out the special events at EO25 celebrating Women in ESOPs, the Employee Ownership Foundation, Emerging ESOP Leaders, and the Annual Awards for Communications Excellence (AACE). Plus, there are two new special events this year, a Chapter Celebration: End Zone Extravaganza and the Around the World Sponsor Showcase & Reception, providing new opportunities for connecting with peers, industry experts, and potential business partners.
Nestled in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip, EO25’s new location at The Aria Resort & Casino offers outstanding amenities, cutting-edge meeting spaces, and luxurious accommodations. It’s the perfect backdrop for learning, networking, and celebrating with fellow employee owners.
