The sad news was announced in a statement put forward by CEO founder, Alex Jebailey. In the statement, he expressed his disappointment at not being able to host the tournament this year due to rising costs. Jebailey intimated that while using the current venue for the main CEO event was an option, he opted against it because it would require fans to travel twice in a very short time.

That said, there is some good news as while there will be no CEOtaku this year, it is likely that it will be held in 2026.

CEOtaku is a spinoff of Community Effort Orlando (CEO) and first got started in 2015. This would have been the 9th iteration of the event as it was also cancelled for 2020 and 2021.

CEO will still move forward as planned with Jebailey promising that it will be an awesome event.

CEO will hold between the 13th and 15th of June 2025.
