National Center for Employee Ownership Annual Conference

This is where the employee ownership world meets. Join us there. 

As the nation’s premier gathering on employee ownership, the NCEO’s annual conference provides an ideal opportunity to learn, network, and share your knowledge with others. Thanks to all who attended our April 2017 conference in Denver, Colorado, where more than 1,700 people joined us. Our 2018 conference will take place in Atlanta, Georgia, on April 18–20, with preconference sessions on April 17.

Unparalleled educational opportunities for all levels in all fields.

In addition to general sessions featuring thought-provoking leaders in the field, you may select from more than 130 breakout sessions and five half-day intensive preconference sessions that explore a variety of critical issues and discuss emerging trends. From practical case studies, communication strategies, and management tips to technical, financial, and legal topics, you create the curriculum that’s right for you. For 2018, we’ve made the schedule a bit more flexible and added some “short takes on an great idea” sessions after lunch on Day Two.

Learn from leading experts. And your peers.

The conference features interactive presentations and lectures from hundreds of top employee ownership experts and experienced leaders from successful employee-owned companies. Get your questions answered and gather new ideas that will work for you. Ample structured and unstructured networking opportunities will connect you to your peers. Both the conference and the preconference offer continuing education credit.

An outstanding location. Easy to reach.

The 2018 Annual Conference will take place in Atlanta, Georgia. The conference location is the Marriott Marquis Hotel, downtown. In addition to traveling by car or taxis/ride share services, the

MARTA light rail from the airport whisks you to a nearby stop, the Peachtree Center Station, in record time. In addition to a large block of sleeping rooms at the newly renovated Marriott Marquis, we also have rooms reserved at the Hilton Atlanta and the Hyatt Regency Atlanta hotels, which are located on either side of the Marriott, and connected by walkways. We urge you to reserve your hotel room early.
