Welcome to nexEO 2026
October 1, 2026 | EO Regional Workforce + Child Development Hub
nexEO brings together bold thinkers, frontline leaders, and decision-makers who care about the future of our region and the work it takes to move it forward. We’re gathering this year to reflect on the progress happening across our communities, hear from an inspirational keynote speaker, and celebrate the people, organizations, and partnerships making that progress possible.
What this year's gathering is about
At nexEO 2025, we took a deep-dive into our collective challenges and opportunities – and had courageous conversations about systems-building and change. Across the region, that progress is showing up in real ways. Progress like expanding access to childcare, helping more people connect to training and careers, and building stronger partnerships between organizations that care about the same outcomes. At nexEO 2026, we're building on this work, but keeping things simple.
