The registration for the 2026 edition of the European Leadership Forum (ELF) that will take place 16-21 May in Wisła, Poland is now open.

An early registration discount is available to those from Central, Eastern, and Southern Europe who submit an application by Friday, 19 September.

Every year, the ELF “unite, equip, and resource” over 800 evangelical leaders “to renew the biblical church and evangelise Europe”.

"When we take initiative in Christian ministry, what you are doing is you are creating ripples that go on forever. And our hope is that out of this forum there will be ripples that are felt forever with eternal implications”, says head of the Fellowship of Evangelists in the Universities of Europe (Feuer), Lindsay Brown.

Training, networks, one-to-one mentoring, the ‘Expo’

Every morning, the ELF starts with a plenary focused on the Bible. The 2026 Forum’s morning Bible teacher will be Colin Smith, president of the media ministry Open the Bible.

Evening plenary speakers will be psychiatrist, international speaker and author, Pablo Martínez; practising barrister, profesor and theologian, David McIlroy; and author, speaker, historian, and media presenter John Dickson.

All the participants are assigned to one of the 29 networks of the ELF, which cuver many different areas such as youth ministry, evangelism, politics,  organisational leadership, Bible teaching, science, discipleship, arts, counselling or media.

In addition to the plenaries and networks, there will be an Expo, where Christian organisations and universities present their initiatives and projects; as well as one-on-one mentoring sessions, an opportunity for participants to “pose difficult questions, seek advice, learn more about a particular topic of interest, or receive prayer and encouragement from mature Gospel leaders”.
