What People Are Saying About ELE
Innovative Collaborations - Network with Leaders and Share Fresh Ideas
VP, Head of Critical Business Priorities for Underwriting University
Zurich North America
The ELE is a research-driven, peer-to-peer community to get fresh ideas on solving innovative talent practices who participate by invitation only.
We started in 2002 as an internal learning leaders conference at Baxter International, a multinational healthcare company headquarters office in Deerfield, IL, and have evolved into forward-thinking cohorts of cross-functional HR leaders from over 100 companies.
By connecting with forward-thinking, cross-functional learning and talent development leaders, we co-create and curate best and next practices.
ELE is more than an annual conference. Our Contributing Members produce over 100 Insights and over 50 Face-to-Face in-person and live Events annually. Have a question and need help now, the Idea Exchange Q&A forum is a powerful resource.
Given time is precious for senior leaders and their teams, our invite-only community is not opened to vendors. Rather we selectively invite a few exclusive strategic partners to provide research-driven experience and insights.
Whether a small start-up or a large enterprise, our peer community can help you achieve your talent development and management goals.
HR talent leaders understand the challenges in attracting, developing, and retaining top talent in today’s competitive marketplace. By community-sourcing solutions, we help you create tangible business results, whether you’re looking to improve your hiring processes, enhance your employee development programs, or optimize your workforce planning and management.
As CHROs, DEI Leaders, and functional heads of learning & talent management, we know talent development is a key driver of business success. We look forward to partnering with you to help you build a high-performance workforce that drives business success.

ELE is an invite-only community with the following core values: connecting, sharing, networking & impacting business results. Collaboration is limited to crowdsourcing talent solutions as a community. Promoting non-ELE services and self-promoting yourself is not allowed and ELE may monitor, or review the ELE Properties and Content at any time.
In 2016 we formally closed our vendor membership to focus on more robust experiences for heads of learning and talent development. A vital part of this shift is to invite a few solution industry thought leaders, who provide forward-thinking talent services, as ELE Strategic Partners to replace the closed vendor membership.

“ELE is unlike any other professional organization I’ve been involved with. It’s not focused on selling you vendor products or recycling outdated learning concepts. It’s dedicated to fostering collaboration between and sharing next practices amongst great learning leaders, which enables us to take learning and talent in our organizations from good to great.”
“We are all more effective with a network of resources behind us. ELE has given me, my team and our organization the benefit of experience and insights from great learning and development thought leaders in our city and from across the country. The Chief Learning Officer meetings and the annual conferences provide excellent opportunities to build relationships with peers across organizations, brainstorm together to tackle common problems and share resources and experiences. The ongoing events make it easy to stay connected and up to speed on the changes in our field.”
Many in our discipline recognize L&D need new set of skills and capabilities.
“Our job is to understand what employees jobs are, learn about the latest tools and techniques to drive learning and performance, and then apply them to work in a modern, relevant, and cost-effective way.” – Josh Bersin
Josh and others think corporate learning leaders require new set of skills, capabilities, and thought processes in HR and L&D. Your team now needs to focus on “experience design,” “design thinking,” the development of “employee journey maps,” and much more experimental, data-driven, solutions in the flow of work.
The following testimony sums up what many are saying:
“The depth and breadth of Executive Learning Exchange makes this relationship a no brainer. Whether you need help brain storming or solving a specific problem, the answer is in the network and has always come with a quick relevant response.” – Anna Manikas
