I very much enjoyed attending the CISO Engage Summit, hosted by the ELN, at Reading Football Stadium on the 23rd March. It was a wonderful event, full of learning and networking. Thank you to the whole ELN Team for organising it. Looking forward to attending more ELN events in future.”

Many thanks to Charlotte, Jonathan, Richard and Peter for organising a very interesting event, full of knowledgeable and inspiring people with a great opportunity to network and socialise as well!

I had the pleasure of attending the Engage Dinner and DPO Summit organized by Executive Leaders Network in Reading and it was a fantastic experience. The event was well-organized, and the attention to detail was evident in every aspect. 

The sessions and discussions were insightful and informative, and I had a great time networking with other professionals in the industry. I appreciate the effort that went into planning such a wonderful event and I would highly recommend attending an ELN event in the future. Thank you for the opportunity to participate and for the excellent organization.

Had an excellent couple of days. It has given me a lot to think about and options for application of digital solutions into an NHS setting. I felt the event was well organised, the sessions were focused and varied but still felt relevant to the overall focus of the summit.

It’s very rare to have the opportunity to attend an event of this size given NHS funding so I personally really appreciated the support from ELN in enabling me to attend the two days.

I really enjoyed the event and have made some great contacts to go forward with. I also learnt a lot from different perspectives, you rarely get the chance to engage on such a level with Data Protection and Marketing so that has given me a slightly better insight into that area of business.

The Dinner was awesome and as I told Tanya I was a massive football fan they made sure that I had the chance to have a brief chat with Fabrice. Again, it was networking and chewing the fat that has meant the contacts I have made can help Charles Taylor improve and I can also give back to the community.

I’m looking forward to the next event already and as it is only a short hop to Reading it makes it much more bearable rather than travelling hundreds of miles and missing speakers due to trains etc.

You and the rest of the team are great, and I wouldn’t mind getting a bit more involved going forward. There were a few people who asked if I worked for ELN because I seemed so comfortable talking to everyone.

I recently attended an ELN dinner and CISO Summit in Reading and really enjoyed it. The event was very well organised and a great opportunity to listen to speakers, talk with peers and network.

Really enjoyed the summit, was very insightful. Definitely keen for future events and want to join the network if possible.

It was a great event and really enjoyed attending the event. Met wonderful people and got to network with few fellow CFOs and FDs too. The presentations and panel discussion were worthwhile imparting great insight on current issues and strategic business aspects.

I would like to Thank you and the team for giving me an opportunity to attend and be part of such a great event.

Had the pleasure of being to attend the event on the 18th May in Reading as a speaker (second year running) and its clear to see the efforts the ELN team go to, to make it a success. Excellent networking opportunity and the venue is fine and very easy to get to.

I attended a networking event with senior marketing professionals, which I found to be extremely useful. Really well-organised, very professional, a great group of like-minded professionals, a fantastic venue... really pleased I went and would definitely attend ELN's events in the future.

Really enjoyed networking with attendees from a mixture of industries and marketing roles; the event was well organised, and Charlotte (our host) was welcoming and helpful.

I enjoyed attending the ELN dinner CMO event in London because I found it worthwhile of my time to meet likeminded professionals and exchange thought leadership. Will highly recommend and will look to attend future events. The ELN team were also very professional and managed the event very well.

I enjoyed an evening event in London with ELN and was very impressed by the organisation behind the event as well as the chance to network with people from such diverse industries and all equally as passionate about their products and services. The format and pace were excellent and there was enough time for us all at the table to speak and ask questions. Recommended

I recently attended an ELN event and was blown away by the quality of the whole experience. Great content, impressive audience and perfectly-operated – would highly recommend!

Yesterday evening's ELN marketing event was professionally executed and well managed. Most importantly, my fellow attendees represented a broad mixture of industries and marketing disciplines, which made it not only an enjoyable evening, but a very informative one as well. I would definitely sign up for the next event.

Great events and opportunities to keep up with the latest challenges and opportunities within the industry (Marketing, in this case), and even better chance to engage with other leaders on a more informal basis. It was my first event, and I'll definitely attend the next ones. Highly recommended.

A helpful conduit for connecting with other senior marketing and digital leaders, and for sharing notes from across industry sectors. If you are invited to participate, I suggest you consider attending!

Well thought out dinner with a thoughtfully curated guest list and informed, interesting speakers. If you're looking to build your network, discuss the themes most relevant to your career and skills, and meet likeminded professionals from across sectors, I highly recommend the ELN dinners. Already making space in my diary for their next event!

It was wonderful to attend HR Leadership dinner. Topics discussed by the speaker were authentic and insights shared by them were invaluable. It was great to connect with leaders from diverse industry and understand their viewpoints on mitigating similar people challenges within their organisation/s. Thanks Charlotte and Team ELN for the experience.

It was a great event, one of the best I have attended including non ELN events. I made some really good connections and the vibe on the tables was superb. It was brilliantly well organised so credit to you for that.

I attended the CPO engage dinner on 1st March. The venue was fantastic and made for really good networking opportunities. The speakers were well informed and created health debate on our respective tables. The organisation for the ELN event was as good as ever with reminders and alerts etc, and of course the excellent Charlotte Brown on hand to answer questions ahead of the event. If you have the opportunity to attend one of these events, whether it be for Finance, HR or Procurement, then i highly recommend it.

I attended the ELN CPO Dinner in London on 1st March 2023. A great opportunity to meet and network with peers in a relaxed atmosphere all while being very well looked after by Charlotte and her team from ELN.

I attended CPO event (second time) in Feb 2023 in London: beautiful venue, fantastic food, absolutely fabulous moderator, bunch of like-minded people who are very passionate about their job, Loved every minute of it.

I had a great evening attending a CPO Engage Dinner hosted by ELN at the Athenaeum Hotel this past week. The speakers were very insightful, and we had some great discussion and debate at our table too. The was also fantastic.

I attended the DPO event at the Athenaeum hotel. The guest speaker and topics were relevant and well debated at our table. Dinner was very tasty and nicely presented. Thanks to Charlotte for organizing such a great event.

I have thoroughly enjoyed last night's exec leaders network around my passionate subject "Data"

Charlotte was great to liaise with and the ELN event I attended was great - definitely worth the time. Great opportunity to network and gain contacts as well as knowledge about the latest and greatest on procurement world!

I have attended a number of ELN events and each one has been meticulously planned yet not regimented in its delivery. The professional approach of the team at ELN is outstanding without compromising their friendly demeanour and personal approaches. If I were to be planning an event, I wouldn’t hesitate to use ELN with Charlotte Brown being chosen to lead my Event Manager. Charlotte's ability to manage events, make each guest feel valued yet maximise opportunities is second to none. I look forward to attending my next ELN event.

Amazing evening at the AI event hosted last week. Beautiful London location overlooking the city. Thank you, Charlotte, from ELN for a great event.

I'm very happy with the outcome of this event and look forward to the following events hosted by ELN. Special thanks to the effort the team showed and their hospitality.

I attended the DPO Centre’s AI Technology Investor Networking Dinner last week. The organisation of the event by ELN was very detailed and I was provided with lots of useful information beforehand with helpful updates and notifications. The evening itself was very well attended, ran efficiently and to time, and there was an interesting mix of investors and start-ups in the tech industry with whom to network. Particularly enjoyed the keynote presentation from Faculty.AI. Thank you, and I look forward to attending more of these events :)

I attended the CFO Engage Event on 18th May - it was very well organised with a good balance of speakers and presentations, panel discussions and supplier meetings. A great opportunity to network with peers across different industries and make some great connections.

A great forum to connect with like minded professionals across a range of sectors, well organised and a quality experience.

A really enjoyable and productive event from ELN! Met some new and exciting service providers and made some executive connections at the event. well planned and organised by Erin Wilson!

An insightful and engaging evening with engaging and insightful people! Thanks to ELN for organising. Highly recommend.

I had a great time at the Marketing Leaders Dinner in November. The event was really well organised and the speakers were interesting. I met some great people across different marketing functions and would definitely attend again.

Great venue, great peer network to connect, great sessions and of course great food! What else defines a great engagement!

Fantastic event met loads of very interesting peers from the industry, well organized and chilled out event. Would certainly attend such events organized in the future!

The AI Technology event was a great opportunity to learn more about the current landscape and trends, and to meet other investors in this space. The event organization was flawless.

Thank you for inviting me to speak at the CPO Summit last week. It was an incredible opportunity to share the Body Shop story and connect with such an engaged panel. The ELN team’s meticulous organisation and attention to detail made the experience seamless and enjoyable.

Once again, thank you for the invitation and the chance to share our story. It was a privilege to be part of such a remarkable event, and I look forward to the possibility of collaborating again in the future.

I really enjoyed the event and all it had to offer. I learned so much from the other delegates you invited and made some great connections. Again, thanks for creating such an engaging event.

Thank you to the Executive Leaders Network (ELN) for inviting me to talk today at your CIO, CMO, and DPO conferences. I learned a great deal from the speakers and panel discussions.

I was very honoured to be asked to speak on an expert panel recently, discussing the balance of marketing and privacy, at the Executive Leaders Network (ELN) conference in Reading. There was some great dialogue, views, hints, and advice, and it was great to meet with some fellow professionals from the data protection and marketing world, Lars Kramm, Nicola Lishak, Carly Hitchman (Morris), Chris Combemale, and William Richmond-Coggan.

It's good to see such events well and truly back on the agenda after all the lockdown issues, and these ELN conferences are first-class.

I would highly recommend anyone in the CTO/COO/CISO and DPO fields to attend any future ones organised by ELN, as they have a good mix of both InfoSec and Data Protection subjects being discussed, with the InfoSec elements being something that our roles need to encompass as the two areas often overlap in so many places.

Congratulations to all the ELN team members who organised this and to all the speakers and delegates for making it an excellent function to discuss ideas during both the talks, and during social time.

So, a big "well done" to Tanya Pryke-Smith, Steve Ashton, Charlotte Brown, Jonathan Newstead, Richard Parsons, Lucy Redwood, and all the rest of the ELN team.

Thanks for inviting me, Tanya; it was a great day and an excellent opportunity to share with like-minded peers while we all navigate the complexities of transformation, cloud, and data! I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I’ve attended a few of ELN events - they are high quality, with thoroughly curated relevant topics and great networking opportunities. I have had the privilege of being asked to participate in a panel discussion on one of the events in Reading, which has given me the opportunity to see how much hard work and care goes into each event.

I attended ELN's marketing dinner in May. The event was well organised and the food was great. I was able to meet a broad brush of attendees at the top of their game from a range of industries, which made for an enjoyable evening with great conversation.

It was a great evening with good discussions, always good to connect with others in similar fields within the industries.

Thank you to you and the team for the event yesterday.

Appreciate the effort that goes into these events and the amount of work that must have gone on behind the scenes!

I attended ELN’s Unified Risk CRO private dinner with Interos. It was fantastic; a great evening of thought provoking, open, progressive discussion with like-minded peers across a diverse set of industries and risk stripes. Lovely location, the event was exceptionally well managed and the dinner-table topics (including our host, panel and moderators) were brilliant. Thank you to the team - I am already looking forward to the next one!

An enjoyable dinner and stimulating discussion at the United Risk Programmes event last week. The network achieves a very good balance of ensuring attendees are well informed about the sponsors, while also encouraging informal discussion between peers. Highly recommended.

Super nice job. One of the best events I’ve attended for some time. Congrats to you and the team.

The event was well organized and well structured.

The moderator was very good. He got the discussions and topics going nicely and it was great to have the different participants sharing their views on the topic.

I want to express my gratitude for the impeccably organised Executive Leaders Network event in Reading this week (9 November 2023). PRGX sponsored the event, and we received exceptional care with every detail, from the agenda to the hospitality, thoughtfully arranged.

The event showcased a high level of expertise within the executive leadership community, and the careful networking opportunities and insightful sessions fostered meaningful discussions.

Your team's professionalism and attention to detail were evident throughout. We eagerly anticipate future collaborations with ELN.

I have gone to a lot of conferences, summits and networking events over the years and I have to say the Executive Leaders Network (ELN) HR Summit was genuinely on another level.

Not only were the speakers second to none, and the topics varied across the HR spectrum; The event stood out for the genuine connections forged among speakers and attendees, who all willingly shared personal stories and challenges alongside their own insights for organisational improvement and change.

A special mention to Tasneem Bhopalwala (CIPD), Annisha Taylor (Assoc. CIPD), Heather Coker, Nicola Richardson, Nicolas Mendoza, David Edwards and Tanya Pryke-Smith who welcomed me so warmly to my first ELN summit and for the insights and stories shared.

Personally, as a younger leader it has been hard to navigate events at times not for the lack of trying or want, but have found age discrimination at the forefront of many interactions whether it be a lack of perceived experience [here I always say it is quality over quantity] or a perception I have nothing to bring to the table - it has been extremely frustrating especially when you don't know someone's personal life and struggles to have the biased assumption, but to see this group of people from across industries and seniorities be so open, engaged and wanting to connect for the future - it truly meant a lot and gave me confidence that we do have the right senior leaders in place [well for these organisations anyway]

Finally, as a big football fan, to have it hosted at Reading Football Club and enjoy the talks on the half way line - made it for an extra special event.

I thoroughly enjoyed the network last night and the event today. I had some really good conversations with people from diverse backgrounds and also learned something new from some sponsors, and I will no doubt continue exploring collaboration opportunities with them after the event. Thank you for having me again this time and looking after me so well as always—really appreciated!

Lei Wei - CFO at Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust

Last week I attended the Executive Leaders Network (ELN) HR Engage Summit, and what a day it was. Insightful keynote speakers and panel discussions, hosted by Peter Dorrington on topics that are on (or at least should be) every workplaces agenda,

A few that I had the pleasure of listening to and connecting with:

Sarah Ford from Diageo sharing how they foster a culture of collaboration.

Dan Fulker from Nuffield Health & Katie Wery from Medigold Health discussing the importance of wellbeing in the workplace.

One of my favourite panels from the day (I'm a little biassed as I enjoyed an evening meal with these guys a day before, and it's a passion topic for me!) Maria Hawley FCIPD from Fisher German LLP, Heather Coker from Morgan Advanced Materials & Michael Celestin (Assoc CIPD) from Knight Frank Promise sharing their insights and discussing the importance of human leadership.

Last but not least, another favourite because of the frank (much needed) conversations around inclusion and belonging with Tasneem Bhopalwala (CIPD) from Oxford University Press, Zakaria Milad from Just Eat Takeaway.com, Annisha Taylor (Assoc. CIPD) from BBC and Sarah Hayes - Chartered(FCIPD) from Securitas Technology UK

It's always great to connect with people who share the same drive and passion for change, learning, and growth.
