What is ELF?
The Executive Leadership Forum (ELF) convenes a distinguished assembly of over 300 professionals, including senior men and women in technology and business, allies, emerging leaders, corporate partners, and community advocates.
Attendees are invited to engage in meaningful networking, gain insights from thought leaders, and celebrate collective achievements, all while contributing to a cause that propels our mission forward.
ELF guests are decision-makers, mentors, and trailblazers who are committed to fostering growth, championing innovation, and making a tangible impact in the tech industry and beyond.
Past ELF speakers include legendary leaders such as Indra Nooyi, Anne Chow, Lisa Gable, Nina Vaca, Merilee Kick, Aneesa Muthana, Cheryl Orange and Janet Robertson—each of whom has shaped industries and inspired a generation of women to lead boldly.
Our Mission
As DFW*ATW's premier annual fundraiser, ELF directly supports programs such as iLEADinSTEM for middle and high school girls and ignITe for upskilling women from underserved communities, which are pivotal in cultivating the next generation of women leaders in technology.
