During this time, very few universities offered coursework for students. Students interested in becoming entrepreneurs had very few resources, opportunities , and outlets to help them reach their entrepreneurial dreams and goals. No national student organization served this interest either.</span></span>

<span id="docs-internal-guid-f2e88db8-e36d-9c91-af90-8dd4a73b5e7b"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family:arialArial; color: rgb(0,helvetica0,sans0); background-serifcolor: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In 1983, a meeting was held in a restaurant to discuss developing an entrepreneurship organization for students who wanted to one day become an entrepreneur. Dr, Gerry Hills, a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC), called and facilitated the meeting of 12 Chicago-area university students. John Hughes and Jean Thorne of the Coleman Foundation contributed, along with Verne Harnish, who was working with Dr. Fran Jabara to create the Association of Collegiate Entrepreneurs (ACE), was in attendance.</span></span>

<span id="docs-internal-guid-f2e88db8-e36d-9c91-af90-8dd4a73b5e7b"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family:arialArial; color: rgb(0,helvetica0,sans0); background-color: transparent; font-serifvariant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">From this innovative meeting stemmed the origins of the Collegiate Entrepreneurs of Illinois Conference. The first Collegiate Entrepreneurs of Illinois Conference which was hosted by UIC’s Institute for Entrepreneurial Studies with the faculty and students of DePaul, Loyola, Illinois Institute of Technology and Northwestern University assisting in the planning and implementation of the Conference. The Coleman Foundation generously contributed as the conference sponsor and continues their there today. In 1985, the conference’s name was changed to the Collegiate Entrepreneurs of the Midwest Conference.</span></span>

In 1997, the Collegiate Entrepreneurs’ Organization (CEO) was launched. The first two national conferences were called “Pilot” meetings with more than 700 students representing 100 universities in attendance.</span></span>

With Kauffman’s support, CEO was able to hire full-time staff and more and more CEO Chapters began appearing on campuses. In recent years, several other important sponsors have joined with CEO, including Northwestern Mutual. Recent From this growth of supporters, CEO has began to hold yearly conferences have had nearly (sometimes multiple in a year), with recent ones coming close to 1,400 500 students in attendance.</span></span>
