Developing talent to serve the events industry

Why we were 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 leads event planning, every event has the same expectation that 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 at getting it right.

The Event Leadership Institute (ELI) was created with this in mind. ELI provides progressive online education, training, and professional development programs for event & meeting industry professionals. With an extensive on-demand video class library (over 180 videos available and growing), as well as instructor-led certificate courses, group training, webinars, and more, ELI strives to advance the industry by creating learning opportunities for industry professionals at every stage of their career.

So if you're passionate about doing your best work, collaboratively working on projects that matter, and having fun along the way, we would love to meet you.
