About the IA-CEO Conference

The Iowa Center for Employee Ownership (IA-CEO) will host its 4th annual Employee Ownership Conference on October 1st, bringing together business leaders, employee owners, service providers, researchers, students, and advocates committed to expanding employee ownership across Iowa and beyond. Centered on ESOPs, EOTs, and worker cooperatives, the conference creates opportunities to learn from real-world experiences, discover practical strategies, and connect with others shaping the future of employee ownership.

Designed for both newcomers and experienced professionals, the conference offers valuable insights for business owners exploring succession planning, employee-owned companies seeking growth strategies, advisors working in the employee ownership space, and individuals interested in the broader economic and community impact of shared ownership. Through keynote presentations, fireside conversations, breakout sessions, and networking opportunities, attendees will engage with ideas and perspectives from across the employee ownership ecosystem.
