ELO Network had a great year of impact in 2023! Here are 15 highlights from the work of ELO in 2023 (posted as Part I and Part II). We are thankful for our many supporters from around the world. If you are not part of the ELO Network, then we invite you to join the leading community of Christian marketplace and entrepreneurial leaders in the world!

1. ELO continues to be the premium brand as the most influential marketplace leadership group in various locations (Canada, Oxford, Singapore)—it’s the place where leaders gather and things happen.
2. ELO continues to be a driving force for unity within the Christian leadership community by being the only event that brings together leaders from businesses, churches, nonprofits, and academic institutions.
3. The ELO “social venture” model continues to succeed. ELO is not a non-profit or charitable organization and doesn't seek donations. Instead, the ELO Network needs to deliver value to end users and keep generating commercial support through ticket sales and sponsorships to sustain its operations.
4. This year ELO attracted approximately 100,000 unique visitors to its website, providing free resources to people around the globe. This web traffic is a great reflection of grassroots support.
5. ELO distributes its "ELO Newsletter" monthly to keep multiple thousands of followers informed regarding global developments with marketplace leaders. The average open and click rate far exceeds the industry average.
6. This year’s ELO Forums in Winnipeg, Vancouver, and Toronto were very well received (described as "fantastic," "spectacular," "great," etc.) and attendance was up 50% over the previous year.
7. The cumulative attendance at ELO Forums in Winnipeg, Vancouver, Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton, Hong Kong, and Singapore is well over 10,000 attendees since the inception of ELO in 2005.
8. Sponsorship at the ELO Forums in Winnipeg, Vancouver, and Toronto was up 100% in revenue and a 50% increase in the total number of sponsors in comparison to 2022, including national sponsors that supported all three Forums.
