What is ELAS?
The Emerging Leaders of the Americas Summit (ELAS) is a regional gathering that brings together young changemakers, professionals, and community leaders from across the Americas — from Canada to Argentina.
Created by JCI America, ELAS is more than an event — it’s an immersive experience to connect, grow, and lead with purpose. Over several days of training, dialogue, and collaboration, participants explore personal leadership, collective action, and innovative strategies to create real impact in their communities.
After a strong first edition, ELAS returns in 2026 with an expanded four-day experience designed to respond to the realities young leaders face today: complexity, collaboration, innovation and the need to scale solutions that matter.
