eoa Annual Conference 2025 - Highlights

This year’s eoa Annual Conference was bigger and better than ever.

Over two energising days, 850+ attendees came together to share insights, bold ideas, and candid, real-world experience. The theme of Owning the Future was clearly evident across the two days. 

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us. The atmosphere was a testament to the power of employee ownership. The whole eoa community is buzzing, and we hope you left feeling inspired - we certainly did!

A huge thank you to Headline Sponsor Howden, UK EO Awards 2025 sponsor Baxendale Employee Ownership, and the evening celebration sponsors, Loadhog and GLIDE.
