Welcome!

Have you ever been to an English Language Teaching conference and thought: Why aren’t there more women plenary speakers? or Why aren’t there more local speakers? Why aren’t there more speakers who speak English as a second language?  

Well, you’re not alone! Our story started when we noticed the lack of parity in conference line-ups. We believe that ‘if you can see it, you can be it’; in other words, women and L2 speakers at conferences provide role models for the new generation of ELT professionals.

That’s why we at EVE: Equal Voices in ELT feel that it’s imperative to change the face of ELT Conferences by addressing lack of parity. Read on to find out how we do it.
