ELC has held 40+ meetups since 2019. What happens at an ELC meetup? 120+ registered engineering leaders, a talk, and then the part people come for: the conversation after the talk ends. Want to give the talk instead? [Apply to speak](https://www.engineeringleaders.io/cfp/). Where do I find upcoming ELC events? Right at the top of this page, with the date, the venue and a link to register. The same events sit on the public Luma calendar at lu.ma/elc, and there's a calendar-subscribe feed so new dates land in your own calendar without you checking anything. Not a member yet? [Join ELC](https://www.engineeringleaders.io/join/) and come to the next one. Why does the ELC events list start at meetup #10? The first nine ran before anyone kept records, so the archive tracks 30+ meetups from #10 onward. The early ones survive in memory, not on a page. Does ELC run a conference too? Yes, the ELC Conference, with 400+ attendees in 2026 and two editions held so far, in 2025 and 2026.
