Join Us at the NCEO Forum: Employee Ownership as Your Competitive Advantage
For each employee it touches, employee ownership is more than just a succession planning structure—it’s a catalyst for growth and long-term success. As your business moves through the ESOP life cycle, it is important to leverage the ESOP in a strategic way to promote growth, innovation, employee engagement, and more.
The 2025 NCEO Forum in Philadelphia on August 27–29 will introduce the “EO as a Competitive Advantage” track. This collection of sessions, designed for C-suite executives, employee-owners, and key stakeholders alike, will show you how to use employee ownership as a competitive advantage and maximize your ESOP’s potential. Topics include mergers and acquisitions, business scaling, talent development, technology, operations, and financial stability. A few of the sessions are given below; for a list of every session in this track as well as all the other sessions, see the Forum program.
- Growth, Sustainability, and Compliance: The Triple Mandate for ESOP Company Directors and Executives: This session will offer executive-level insights into maintaining momentum and will uncover strategies for ensuring the long-term success and sustainability of your ESOP.
