The ELO Forums are less than two months away! We have a number of incredible speakers and sponsors lined up for each location.
Whether in Vancouver, Toronto, Winnipeg, or Singapore, the ELO Forums are the single most important annual events for Christian marketplace and entrepreneurial leaders in their respective cities. The ELO Forums are organized by business leaders for business leaders—and it shows. Since 2005, a team of more than 150 individuals has helped the ELO Network evolve into the premier provider of leadership development for Christian marketplace and entrepreneurial leaders.
The ELO Forums are one-day events where business leaders and executives can network and renew their entrepreneurial mindset, connect with others, gain more understanding about their calling, and learn from a great roster of presenters. Peers of kindred spirit connect. Attendees get outside of their usual circles and make new contacts. Relationships are created, renewed, and strengthened. Attendees and speakers come together from around the globe. There is plenty of information and inspiration but most importantly, the benefits last throughout the year and beyond. Join us and become one of the thousands of people who have attended the ELO Forums over the years!
