Forget the theory BS. We focus on honest conversations, real challenges, and practical solutions. Whether it's through expert panels, deep-dive discussions, or meetups that bring over 100 sharp minds together. We're here to share what works (and what doesn't). We offer a **cocktail of legendary meetups**, excellent speakers, and a physical network that meets in person – completely free. Why do we grow so fast? Because we expose real stories. Our members grow 10x faster and form lasting connections. ![](https://www.engineeringleaders.io/_astro/gradient_gold.CCCgRvcN_2dHsRE.webp) ELC Speakers Club - [![Vojtech Vit, Everpure](https://www.engineeringleaders.io/gallery/cfp/speakers/vojtech-vit.webp)Vojtech Vit![Everpure logo](https://www.engineeringleaders.io/gallery/cfp/logos/pure-new.webp)](https://www.linkedin.com/in/vojtechvit) -
