EOC Day North America 2026

We invite you to join us in Omaha Saturday November 7th through Sunday November 8th to engage with other EOC entrepreneurs, Focolare members, supporters, and EOC-curious friends who want to learn more about EOC. Our goal is fellowship and encouragement.
John Mundell, John Gallagher, Andy Gustafson, most of the EoC-Project team and a number of other EOC entrepreneurs and Focolare friends (like Bill Neu) will hopefully be with us as well.
We welcome everyone's input on the program, since this is a family affair, but at present we envision these things happening while we are together:
Saturday afternoon: Introductions, and sharing about the EOC 35th anniversary in Buenos Aires this summer
Saturday night: a celebration together, probably at 'The Vic'-- Andy Gustafson's victorian house which is well suited for get togethers. Dinner will be served.
Sunday:
a. time for entrepreneurs to share recent experiences
b. time for eoc-curious friends to ask any questions they would like to ask
c. panel of some of the EOC entrepreneurs who have been interviewed for the EOC Project with reflections on the experience
d. Get an update on the EOC project and watch some of the EOC Project videos together and have discussion about them and how to use them to encourage others to practice EOC values.
e. Have a discussion together of how to make EOC NA stronger, and talk about next steps for how to support each other and help each other to feel in communion and loved.
This is not a program set up for you to attend. It is an event for you to be an essential part of, and it is a gathering for us to learn from each other and help form a vision for our future in North America. There are many walkable hotels nearby, and we can try to help with other housing if needed.
More details will be coming, but we wanted you to know about this so you might save the date and plan accordingly. We welcome any and all suggestions which you think would make the event more useful and encouraging!
Hope you can come!
