The Premier Conference for Electric Co-op CEOs & GMs

Join hundreds of CEOs, general managers and industry partners for the opportunity to exchange ideas, make meaningful connections and learn best practices for managing key challenges faced by electric co-op senior leaders.

In Their Own Words...2020 CEO Close-Up Participants

"The networking opportunities are invaluable. The sessions and speakers were excellent, and the content was relative to current challenges."

"Everything presented was relevant to my contributions to the cooperative. The event gave me time to reflect on the issues that should rise to the top of my list as a CEO."

"This was a well-planned conference with great speakers and breakout sessions. The fact that it is strictly for CEOs makes it especially relevant."

"The sessions were very informative and the breaks in between were long enough to actually have peer-to-peer hallway conversations."
