Annual Congress 2023: Thank You For Participating

ELX Annual Congress 2023

..

Thank you for supporting the inaugural ELX Annual Congress

Between February 1 and 3, 2023, the Annual Congress brought together global event leaders to connect with their peers to realize the power of community. Over the packed 1.5 days, ELX members tackled topics that matter most through collective intelligence, driving global changes as a united front. 

The Annual Congress was all about participation. To step beyond dealing with challenges in solitude. Together, through inspiring conversations and collaborations over a series of breakout sessions, we found new answers and ideas to issues that the event programs are facing. 

We thank everyone who has collaborated and supported the Congress. We look forward to reuniting with you all again and meeting new faces!

“Leaving ELX Annual Congress with an overflowing mind of new ideas and an overflowing heart of new and deepened connections. I wish I could work with you all on a daily basis!”

Dean Armintrout, Director of Events, T-Mobile

Feedback from ELX events

  • "I’m excited about the opportunity to spend time with other event leaders. We are still recovering from the disruption the event industry experienced throughout the pandemic. We have an opportunity to be even more strategic and discard the things that didn’t serve us well and I think the congress will be a good opportunity to surface some of these opportunities and challenges."
