ERG International Fall 2022 Symposium

What’s the ERG International Symposium?

Fall 2022 will mark ELA's 4th event bringing together ERG champions from all-sized companies, academia and non-profits based all over the world. 

Join fellow diversity champions as they share and co-create best practices that are actively building stronger, more sustainable employee groups. 

LIVE! In Person or Virtual Do Over?

You choose! We know these days not everyone can or wants to attend an in-person event. However, rather than do another hybrid event, we want to give you the opportunity to join others onsite or virtually so everyone has the same, optimized user experience.

Who attends the ERG Symposium?

• Leaders of individual employee groups
• Program managers who oversee multiple ERGs
• Executive sponsors and allies working with ERGs
• Other members of the HR and DE&I community who are involved in diversity and inclusion efforts–including, but not limited to employee resource group initiatives
