## What members keep

![Speaker at the lectern during an ELC meetup](https://www.engineeringleaders.io/gallery/cfp/meetup/lectern.webp)

01

### First call for the main stage

When the ELC Conference needs speakers, we look at the club first. 400+ leaders in the room last edition. Most of our conference speakers started at a meetup.

![Food and drinks at an ELC meetup](https://www.engineeringleaders.io/gallery/cfp/meetup/food.webp)

02

### The members’ Slack

A private channel for the club only. Offers, events and opportunities reach you before the public feed.

![A glass ship wheel over a glowing Vltava, the ELC Speakers Club boat party graphic](https://www.engineeringleaders.io/gallery/cfp/meetup/boat-wheel.webp)

03

### The boat on the Vltava, every year

An invite-only boat party in Prague with other members, ambassadors, donors and partners. No stage, no talks.

## The club, member by member

Everyone who took an ELC stage: the conference main stage and every meetup since 2024. One talk each: that is the whole entry fee.

Their talk titles, dates and rooms are all on the [past events page](https://www.engineeringleaders.io/events). Nothing there is a product demo wearing a talk as a costume.

## Not in the club yet?

One talk is the entry fee. First talk of your life or your fiftieth, we pick on the story, not the speaking resume.

[Pitch a meetup talk](https://www.engineeringleaders.io/cfp/)[Pitch for the main stage](https://elc-conference.io/cfp/)

## Questions about the club

Who is in the ELC Speakers Club?

Everyone who gave a talk at an ELC meetup or the ELC Conference. One talk is enough, and membership does not expire.

How do I join the ELC Speakers Club?

Pitch a talk through the ELC call for speakers. Once you give it, you are a member.

Can a company buy a place in the club?

Not directly. The club is for people who gave a talk. A partner company can buy a speaker slot at an ELC meetup, and the person who gives that talk joins like everyone else; ELC helps them with the topic and the delivery first.
