About this Event
What if EO made space — just once — for members to share what they’re building?
The Experience
We’ll begin with a shared lunch and time to connect, followed by a keynote from Kristen Brown and the Power Speaker Showcase — where EO members take the stage to share powerful, personal talks developed through our speaker program.
These aren’t polished presentations.
They’re real stories, lived experiences, and perspectives that reflect the depth of our community.
Then We Shift
After the Showcase, the energy changes.
The bar opens.
The music comes up.
And we kick off the EO Expo.
For this one event, we’re inviting:
• EO members
• Strategic Alliance Partners
• Even members’ kids with emerging businesses
to host tables and share what they’re building.
Why This Matters
This is a rare opportunity to:
• Discover and support businesses within the EO community
• Share what you’re building in a relaxed, welcoming environment
• Connect across EO, EOA, SAPs, and families
• Experience EO in a way we don’t typically create space for
It’s not about selling.
It’s about showing up, sharing, and supporting one another.
The Setting
Hosted on Nicollet Island, this summer gathering is designed to feel open, social, and celebratory.
Expect:
• Great food and fun snacks
• Open bar
• Beautiful views of the river
• A high-energy, community-driven atmosphere
