About the Midwest Regional Conference
Join us for the Midwest Regional Conference, a premier regional event hosted by the Heart of America, Illinois, Iowa/Nebraska, Minnesota/Dakotas, and Wisconsin chapters of The ESOP Association. From September 22–24, 2026, we’re bringing together the ESOP community from across the Midwest for three powerful days of education, connection, and collaboration.
This multi-chapter gathering will feature an energizing agenda full of expert-led sessions, peer discussions, and actionable takeaways designed to strengthen your ESOP company. Whether you’re new to employee ownership or a longtime advocate, you’ll leave more inspired and informed, with plenty of insights to share with your fellow employee-owners.
Make plans to attend this can’t-miss event and experience the strength of the Midwest ESOP community. Together, we build better workplaces.
