For engineering leaders.

# Where 3,200+ engineering leaders go when the org chart isn't enough.

120+ people show up to every monthly meetup in Prague, Brno, Bratislava, and Krakow. Not for the slides. For the conversation after, when the talk ends and the real problems come out.

Step 1 of 2

What happens next

1.  A confirmation email is on its way.
2.  Follow ELC on LinkedIn for the updates that matter, not just invites.

### The conversation after

The real value happens after the talk ends, in the conversation nobody posts on LinkedIn.

![A ladder, not a paywall](https://www.engineeringleaders.io/_astro/card-ladder.Df3DgzX9_Z1BlA9b.avif)

### A ladder, not a paywall

Show up, bring people, get invited further in. Member to Supporter to Ambassador to Co-owner, earned, not bought.

## Questions people _ask_

Do I need to be a CTO to join ELC?

No. ELC is built for engineering leaders across the range, from engineering managers to VPs and CTOs, and there’s no title check and no approval queue.

How much does ELC membership cost?

Nothing. Partners fund the community, so members never hit a paywall or a fee.

How long does it take to join ELC?

Under a minute. Two steps, name and email; LinkedIn is optional.

What do I actually get as an ELC member?

The [monthly meetup](https://www.engineeringleaders.io/events) in Prague, Brno, Bratislava or Kraków, the ELC Slack, and the conversation after the talk ends, which is where most of the value lands.

Is ELC a good community for CTOs and VPs of engineering?

That's who it was built for: 3,200+ engineering leaders in Central Europe, 40+ meetups since 2019, 5 peer circles, and a 500+ person annual conference. Joining is free and takes under a minute.
