At it’s core, EO is a membership organization that helps members grow personally and professionally through events, education, and peer mentorship.
👉 Small peer groups (forums) where we learn from another
👉 In person and virtual events like mentoring, social activities, educational events
👉 Local, regional, national, and global conferences and workshops
Here's a list of some of our sample events:
That's not all there is though! For a more comprehensive list of some of the things available to EO members, check out this (admittedly overwhelming) guide.
The main requirements of EO Chicago are that you:
✅ Are an entrepreneur
✅ Have a business with >250k per year in revenue *
✅ Have a strong desire to grow personally and professionally
