Each year the OEOC’s Annual Conference features an eclectic and interesting mix of featured speakers, 20-plus breakout sessions, and plenty of networking opportunities (and more!) for management and leaders of employee-owned companies, employee-owners, business owners interested in selling to their employees, and anyone interested in employee ownership.
Every year the OEOC runs pre-conference events. See agenda for details.
The program is designed primarily for hourly and salaried non-managerial employees and provides them with an opportunity to learn with and from their peers. Typically, attendees come from outstanding ESOP companies where developing a culture of ownership is considered.
