A True Partnership —
From First Call to Final Applause.
ELA doesn't show up on summit day with a deck and leave. We work with you from the start to make sure the content fits your ERG portfolio makeup, your leaders' needs and your organization's culture.
We start with your goals, your audience, your budget, and what's worked or not worked at past events. We share what we've seen across dozens of summits and help you build an agenda that actually serves your leaders — not just fills a schedule.
ELA's keynotes and workshops aren't off-the-shelf. We tailor content to your organization's context — your ERG portfolio stage, your industry, your culture and the specific outcomes you want your leaders to walk away with.
Delivery by ELA's global faculty of Certified Expert ERG Trainers — practitioners with deep ERG expertise and professional facilitation credentials. Onsite or virtual. Your team focused on logistics; ours focused on making the content land.
Open Your Summit with
Science, Energy & Real Impact.
Both keynotes are available onsite or virtually and are designed to set the tone for everything that follows. Each can open a summit on its own, or be paired for a full opening sequence.
Science-backed. Interactive. Designed to uplift, empower and inspire every ERG champion.
This keynote opens summits with the evidence and the energy that sets the tone for everything that follows. Attendees leave understanding not just that ERGs matter — but why they matter, what the science says, and what it means for the work they're volunteering to do.
What Every Leader Needs to Know About Employee Groups
Educate, energize, and empower existing and potential ERG leaders, members, executive sponsors, and allies with this live-led, interactive presentation based on the latest book by ELA's founder and chair, Alyssa Dver.
Deep-Dive Sessions with
Practical Tools and Real Takeaways.
Each workshop is available onsite or virtually and can be added to any ELA-supported summit agenda. Mix and match based on your audience and goals.
ERG leaders often struggle to communicate impact — not because the work lacks value, but because it isn't translated into the right language. This session helps leaders share evidence-based impact stories that confidently explain group progress, value, and direct connections to business priorities.
Many ERGs struggle to demonstrate impact to senior leadership — not because the work lacks value, but because it isn't framed in executive language. Through a Small Group Translation Lab, participants practice turning ERG activity into strategic narrative across three areas: events, budgets, and sponsor updates.
ERG leaders can't manage their people — they can only inspire, motivate, and coach them. This brain-science-backed session builds the practical coaching skills that make that possible, creating psychological safety and a genuine sense of belonging within the group.
Executive sponsors are critical to ERG success — yet most step into the role without a clear roadmap for what excellent sponsorship actually looks like. This session gives sponsors the precise knowledge they need to perform this unfamiliar and high-impact role with confidence.
The Summit Investment That Keeps Paying Off.
From Fortune 500 corporations to non-profits to academic institutions, the organizations that bring ELA in for their summits come back. Here's what they say.
