ELI Events by Month

Each year in late January, the ELI community comes together to explore, network, and grow. A combination of plenary presentations, interactive sessions, and workshops - plus plenty of time to visit with colleagues - ensures that the ELI Annual Meeting brings lasting value to participants. ELI also encourages institutions to maximize the value they receive from the conference by sending institutional teams. Team participation facilitates shared learning and enhances the potential for collaborative initiatives back on campus based on ideas gained at the meeting.
