Our 2025 Conference agenda is live!

Maybe you’ve seen the news that the 19 wealthiest US households added yet another $1 trillion to their combined wealth last year alone. Maybe you’re not sure if you saw that story or not because it doesn’t sound like news, but like something you read about last year and the year before.

Contrast this with a different kind of story from this year: 300 employees receive over $1 million each, and 50 employees receive $10 million each when Vermont Information Processing is sold for $1 billion. This sounds like something new. Life changing wealth is created for hundreds of hard-working individuals and their families living in Vermont, all because a company’s founder chose the employees as the next generation of ownership when the time came to sell.

Ready to be part of something truly new?

At the Vermont Employee Ownership Conference on Friday, May 30, we’re offering a total of 26 breakout sessions, including a track for businesses exploring a sale to employees and a number of options for employee-owned companies ready to overcome persistent challenges.

Head over to our conference page to view the full agenda and register.

Next year, the combined wealth of that tiniest percentage of American households may yet again make up a larger percentage of the total US economy. But meanwhile we hope you’ll join us in building up a new kind of economy that creates wealth for the many, not the few.
