True Leadership
Lessons From the Past, Guidance For the Future
5 October 2023
True Leadership is the overarching theme for ELP in 2023 (its 20th anniversary year) as well as the theme for the Annual Conference 2023. Rethinking leadership is necessary now that the demands of leaders are high given the many crises that we are in (climate, war, nitrogen, housing, refugees) and the trust in leaders is low. True leadership is required from both incumbent and future leaders.
We will ask speakers and participants about their most meaningful leadership experiences, translating these lessons from the past into guidance for the future. We will go to the essence of how leadership emerges in real-world situations to determine what works and what doesn’t.
Why join?
- Be inspired by great speakers.
- Engage with peers in moderated Roundtable Dialogues.
- Reflect on your personal leadership.
- Capture lessons learned to accelerate your leadership in the future.

”Meeting different people, experience different ways of thinking, get inspired with novel trends, and meet people from outside your daily routine in a safe, non-judgemental environment.”
Kaz de Jong
“I have had many engaging, creative and inspiring sessions at the ELP conference.
The breadth of topics covered is impressive; so is the depth at which the topics are interrogated.
The colleagues I have met have remained an invaluable source of professional and personal insight,
experience and support which I treasure to this day.”

“The annual conference offers the best of multiple worlds. It’s an inspiring event circling around trending leadership topics.
It provides a space to reflect upon your own leadership style and behavior. It offers you an opportunity to communicate
with kindred spirits who are in the same boat . And if all that is not enough, it’s rounded off with a good glass and fine food. I say: not to be missed!”
