Erin Leonard
FOUNDER + CEO
Erin Leonard founded Erin Leonard Events (ELE) in 2019 with a belief that events are rare opportunities to step out of our busy lives and grow, learn, reflect, and develop lasting connections. Erin designs unique, engaging events that are as fun to plan as they are to attend.
Erin has more than ten years of experience planning events and has expertise in adult education, content, programming, marketing, strategy, and speaker selection. She specializes in designing events around your audience’s needs and interests and your organization’s strategic goals.
Erin is an optimist and creates meaningful moments at every opportunity. She is truly a joy to work with, as she is a big-picture strategist with an eye for detail and the team (and network) to pull off the seemingly impossible time and time again.
She always has a little magic up her sleeves, and it shows!
