“It’s a perfect way to catch up on things.” That was the comment of a frequent ELO Forum attendee on how the event helps equip leaders. Each year we highlight speakers who address current issues facing business leaders. The ELO Forum Vancouver, which is happening in just one week, on November 15th, will be no different!

We have three presenters on Artificial Intelligence (AI), a topic which is frequently in the news. We have entrepreneurial stories from the frontlines. We have a session on the state of faith in Canada today. We have presenters from across Canada, Nicaragua, and (via Zoom) Oxford, UK.

We are building on the momentum of the ELO Forum in Winnipeg two weeks ago which was described by attendees as "fantastic" and "spectacular." As in Winnipeg, the upcoming ELO Forum in Vancouver is the most important event all year for Christian marketplace and entrepreneurial leaders.

The ELO Forums offer a unique opportunity for meaning-driven professionals to gather and exchange insights, build valuable connections, and stay ahead in an ever-evolving business landscape. We inivite you to join the community of Christian marketplace and entrepreneurial leaders!

With a diverse range of speakers and networking sessions, you don’t want to miss out on this chance to learn and grow. There is still time to register and be a part of this transformative event!
