CEO was launched in 1999 by Bob Anderson. As a veteran of YPO and TEC, and as a Trustee of Fuller Theological Seminary, Bob wanted to create a venue that would bring outstanding content from a Christian perspective to gatherings of leaders and their spouses who were committed to Christ’s calling in their business and professional lives. To share and expand this experience Bob collaborated with the De Pree Leadership Center to organize CEO in early 2002.

CEO provides a haven for business leaders and their spouses to gather together and explore the ethical, intellectual, and spiritual growth of people engaged in entrepreneurial endeavors. The Fall Forum program emphasizes all three areas of growth, as our inspirational guides create a profound fellowship experience.
