Why ELI was created
Professionals working in the event and meetings industry are diverse; ranging from those whose full-time job is planning events, to planners who are occasionally asked to take on events as an additional facet of their job.
No matter who oversees planning, every event has the same expectation; event goals must be achieved. The event must have the look, feel and functionality that the paying client or decision maker envisioned. And because events happen in real time, planners only have one shot to get it right.
The Event Leadership Institute was created with this in mind. Regardless of your experience level, how long you've been in the industry or how many events you plan per year, we want to help you get it right by providing you the training and knowledge you need for success.
