ELX Partners
About ELX Partnerships
ELX is not an industry association or a sponsorship platform. It is an invitation-only partnership for companies that bring strategic value, contribute insight, and enhance the experience for the most senior corporate event leaders in the world. By the end of 2026, the community is projected to include 400 senior leaders overseeing more than 240,000 events.
Suppliers cannot join as individual members. The only way to be involved is through our strategic partnership model. We offer limited spots in each category (agency, destination, DMC, technology provider, AV, and others) and select partners based on strategic alignment and their ability to add distinct value to a carefully curated ecosystem.
Why Become an ELX Partner?
ELX partnerships are not sponsorships, they’re high-trust, strategic collaborations with the world’s top senior event leaders.
Our strategic partners gain:
- Ability to build meaningful relationships with ELX’s invitation-only community of senior event leaders from the world’s most influential brands.
- Thoughtful integration into curated in-person and digital events
- Virtual and bespoke content collaborations
- Visibility across ELX’s platform, events, and digital channels
- Long-term value, driven by strategic alignment, not transactional sponsorship
