In 2022, ELO built on its nearly 20-year track record of success to host live and in-person conferences across Canada for Canadian Christian businesses and entrepreneurial leaders. 

After two years of successful online conferences, this past year was an opportunity to get the community of leaders together again in person.

ELO was able to successfully hold its Forums in Winnipeg on November 1st, Vancouver on November 15th, and Toronto on November 30th. The feedback was exceptional (see post-event reports for Winnipeg, Vancouver, and Toronto).

ELO is the only organization in Canada that has events across the country (in addition to events and programs in Asia, Europe, and the USA).

We are acutely aware of the trends within the Christian business community, as our Forums draw attendees from every part of Canada.

The ELO Forums are a grassroots movement with extensive support from the business community via sponsorships. There were over 30 unique sponsors of the Forums. 

The conference magazine, the Entrepreneurial Leaders Review, highlighted all the sponsors. The magazines also have information on all the speakers and content from the event. Click below to view each of the magazines.

The Winnipeg ELO Forum, held since 2017, had as keynote speakers Mark Chipman, Owner, Winnipeg Jets Hockey Team, and his brother, Steve, President & CEO, Birchwood Automotive Group. 

The Vancouver ELO Forum, held since 2005, had as keynote speaker Bobby Gruenewald, Founder and CEO, YouVersion Bible App, Tulsa, OK, USA. With over 550 million downloads, this is an amazing story.

The Toronto ELO Forum, held since 2012, had as keynote speaker Promod Haque, Managing Partner, Norwest Venture Partners, Palo Alta, CA, USA.

There are podcasts available for several presentations from the ELO Forums. We upload podcasts weekly. Click below for more information.

Once again, ELO provided the premiere events for Canadian Christian business leaders with an outstanding roster of speakers, great networking opportunities, with extensive support from the community.
