Community Effort Orlando (often shortened to CEO) is an annual fighting game event held in Daytona Beach, Florida.

Fighting game players compete in a wrestling ring during the event's tournaments, and CEO has been a mainstay of the Capcom Pro Tour since its establishment in 2014.

Described in 2016 as one of the biggest fighting game community events in the United States by Red Bull, CEO has been running annually since 2010 and has grown exponentially every year.

The event has an "infamous" wrestling ring in which tournament players compete and those who reach the finals make "WWE style entrances".

[1] Jebailey himself has been interested in video game competition since 1993, when he won a local Street Fighter II Turbo tournament on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.

He has competed in various tournaments during the 1990s and 2000s, including Mortal Kombat and Killer Instinct competitions, as well as professional trading card game contests.

[7][8] CEO 2014 was also sponsored by One Frame Link, and Jebailey sold CEO-themed T-shirts based on the various games played during the event in order to crowdfund the prize pool of each tournament.

[11] At the CEO 2015 Ultra Street Fighter IV tournament, well-known players such as Infiltration, Tokido, Yusuke Momochi, and Daigo Umehara were all eliminated before reaching the finals.

Jebailey quickly responded to people's worries regarding personal safety on social media that he would redouble the event's security.

In an interview with Red Bull, Jebailey stated that "We understand bad things happen in the world, but if I can spend a weekend with my community and get away from it...

[17][18] Jebailey announced in July 2016 that CEO 2017 would move away from its traditional late-June date in order for the event to be held in a new venue.

The event featured tournaments for Street Fighter V, Tekken 7, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, Injustice 2, Pokkén Tournament, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Killer Instinct, The King of Fighters XIV, Guilty Gear Xrd, and BlazBlue: Central Fiction.

A portmanteau of CEO and otaku, the event focused specifically on Japanese 2D fighting games, often referred to as "anime fighters".

Jebailey got the idea of starting CEOtaku when he noticed that Florida features many anime conventions throughout any given year, and was inspired when he saw a side-event at Evo 2015 dubbed "ANIMEvo".
