Legacy & Connection: EO Iowa Member and E-lumni Dinner

17 September 2026 05:30 PM (GMT-06:00) Central Time (US & Canada)

Venue: Glen Oaks Country Club
Location: West Des Moines, Iowa, United States

Join EO Iowa for a special evening that brings our entire community together. Our member and e-lumni dinner is more than a reunion. It’s a chance for past members, current members, and spouses to gather around the table for a night of cocktails, dinner, and meaningful connection. Reconnect with familiar faces, meet new ones, and share in the relationships and experiences that continue to shape EO Iowa.

We’ll have a short, thoughtful program with a few voices reflecting on where we’ve been, where we are today, and where we’re headed next. Most of all, this evening is about great conversation, shared stories, and celebrating the strength of the EO Iowa community…together!

AI Beyond the Hype Part II: Build Your Digital Team That Works While You S

12 November 2026 08:00 AM (GMT-06:00) Central Time (US & Canada)

Venue: Blue Compass/West48
Location: West Des Moines, Iowa, United States

Part I was one of our highest-rated events. Ethan King returns for Part II.

Most of us are still using AI to chat—write an email, summarize a doc, brainstorm—but there's a whole new gear most people haven't discovered yet: getting AI to actually do the work.

In this advanced, hands-on workshop, you'll learn the 6 Levels of AI Autonomy so you know exactly which tool to reach for and when. Then you'll build AI agents: digital employees that handle content, customer service, lead follow-up, and more. 24/7. No coding.

You'll leave with working agents you built in the room, and a clear map for scaling your operations without scaling your payroll.
