Sponsorship includes:
Each EO Day, thousands of employee owners, EO businesses and supporters come together to raise awareness of the benefits of employee ownership.
Traditionally, a full week of activity culminates in a day of celebration that is shared across social media and online, giving the whole community a platform to shout about EO.
In 2022 we asked EOA members and supporters of the sector to help us plant the seed of EO in the minds of the nation in order to #GrowEO like never before – as always they did not disappoint. Together we reached 1.9million social media accounts.
The EOA are delighted to host our Annual Conference 2023 on 27 & 28 November at the ACC, a state of the art modern conference venue in Liverpool. After the huge success of the conference in 2022, we expect to welcome over 700 delegates this year to learn, network and celebrate all things employee ownership.
As Headline Sponsor, you’ll receive the following benefits in order to profile your organisation with the EO sector and support the EOA to continue host ‘the best conference ever’ each year.
To start Monday evening’s celebrations, the EOA will be hosting a drinks reception for delegates to meet up with new friends and get into a celebratory mood.
Drinks will be served as delegates take the opportunity to share stories, and your branding will be showcased in the marketing for the conference and in the room where the drinks reception takes place.
Sponsorship includes a high profile speaking opportunity to welcome delegates to the start of the evening celebrations.
This is a chance to align your brand and values with our annual lecture – which seeks to highlight insight and ideas that focus on delivering better impacts on people, businesses, and society. Your sponsorship supports us to host the first in-person lecture since February 2020. Our annual lecture commemorates and celebrates the life, legacy, and work of our founder, employee ownership pioneer Robert Oakeshott.
Since the pandemic, we have not only seen a huge increase in the number of businesses becoming employee owned, but we have also since seen a rise in the proportion of employee owned businesses seeking accreditation to be more ethical and have better impacts on people, the environment and society.
How to balance the needs of people, the economy and the planet is the most pertinent discussion of our time.
We are therefore delighted that this year Kate Raworth – creator of the Doughnut of social and planetary boundaries, co-founder of Doughnut Economics Action Lab and author of best seller ‘Doughnut Economics: seven ways to think like a 21st century economist’ – will give the 2023 Robert Oakeshott Lecture entitled ‘Redesigning business with Doughnut Economics’.
