A Whole New Experience
At ELC Annual, we prioritize deep conversations & meaningful connections over anything else. Our exclusive highlights provide an interactive & immersive experience – giving each attendee the chance to engage with others through intimate, curated sessions, ranging from 1:1 meetings to peer learning groups, and collaborative roundtables to classroom-style speaking sessions.
Curated 1:1 Meetings
We believe the most valuable part of our event is the opportunity to make real connections that will last beyond ELC Annual. Our team will hand-select 5 to 10 connections for you and reserve time for you to network with each one.
Customized Peer Groups
At ELC Annual, we’ll also match you with a customized peer group of 6 to 8 individuals from different companies. We believe these groups are the most effective way to gain cross-company perspectives on challenges in a high-trust setting.
Choose-Your-Own Roundtables
While we have several curated options put together by our team, ELC Annual won’t be without options for you to choose yourself, including roundtable discussions on participant-proposed topics that you’ll get to choose for yourself.
Classroom-Style Speaker Sessions
These sessions will focus on bringing attendees and speakers face-to-face in a classroom-style setting, with plenty of time for a Q&A at the end. Most importantly, you’ll get to choose which session(s) pique your interest the most – so no worries about having to attend a session you’re not interested in.
Connect Lounge
Throughout the event, each attendee will be able to take full advantage of our Connect Lounge to relax between sessions & network with fellow engineering leaders.

Why Should You Attend
Learn from the Best
All of your sessions will be led by experienced engineering leaders who are well-versed in their fields – we promise you won’t leave this summit without learning something valuable from some of the best-in-class.
Build Your Support Network
Between curated 1:1 meetings and peer groups, expect to leave this summit with a support system of peers to turn to when you need mentorship & connection outside of ELC Annual.
Gain Cross-Company Perspectives
Curated peer groups and self-selected roundtables give you exposure to real-life challenges and the opportunity to learn from other engineering leaders' experience across companies to truly put things into perspective.
Receive Answers to Your Real Challenges
Context is everything. Your sessions will give you the opportunity to hear from peers what works & doesn’t work, so you can make more informed decisions for your org moving forward to grow & scale.
Find What’s New and Trending
Keeping up with the latest trends in our industry is paramount. Your sessions will provide ample opportunity for you to learn what’s new & valuable in the industry and take that knowledge back home with you.

Why People Are Excited?
We asked attendees why they’re excited to join us at ELC Annual 2023 with their peer engineering leaders for two days of connecting, learning , and growing and this is what they had to say:

“It’s been a lot of fun. It's fun to just be at an in-person event. It's been such a long time and I've just really enjoyed getting to chat with folks, especially like in between all the activities. It's been really good to make connections with new people.”
