Joining EO Boston
Why become a Member?

EO is the catalyst that enables entrepreneurs to learn from each other, leading to greater business success and an enriched personal life. The opportunities with EO are endless. The more you put into the organization, the richer your experience will be.

Direct Peer-to-Peer Learning
EO's core promise to our members - peer-to-peer learning - is the critical foundation by which all the benefits and services offered to our members are categorized. Direct peer-to-peer learning focuses on the area where the content is strictly from your peers.

This pillar includes all our events: EO Universities - our largest global gathering of 400-500 entrepreneurs on a bi-annual basis for the sole purpose of world-class learning, education and networking; Chapter Events - offering world-class learning on a local basis leading to greater business success and an enriched personal life; and Executive Education - through EO's strategic alliances with world-class academic institutes such as MIT and London School of Business, members have the unique opportunity for advanced business education.

Once-in-a-Lifetime Experiences
Once-in-a-lifetime experiences are those that are so unique, you can get them only through EO. These opportunities combine mixed learning content from peers and experts and offer exclusive social events.

Connection to Experts
The third pillar in the peer-to-peer learning benefits categorization is the area used by EO members on an as-needed basis to tap into the network with those that have the specific experience they need.

This pillar includes: Member Exchange - exclusive, confidential access to the expertise of thousands of your peers from EO, WEO, YPO and CEO allows for members with particular concerns to be quickly linked with other members who have been through similar experiences; Mentor Program - the WPO/EO program creates the opportunity for sharing of knowledge between a mentor and mentee from differing peer groups; and Speakers Database - if you need a speaker for your business, chapter or other affiliation, there are thousands of potential speakers in this web-based database at your fingertips.
