    Frequently Asked Questions

     

    What is the difference between attending online and in-person?

    An ONLINE ticket provides you with full access to the GLS 2023 LIVE Online Experience.  This option is only available in August.

    An IN-PERSON event ticket gains you admission to the nearest Premier Host Site location to you.

    Can one online ticket be shared between my colleagues at work?

    One ticket purchase is required for each member of a team participating in the GLS, whether online or in-person. If you choose to have multiple colleagues gather to view the GLS Online Experience together, please purchase a ticket for each person. 

    Thanks for playing fair. Our goal is to provide world-class leadership development for you and your team at a reasonable price. We believe that if everyone follows the same rules and pays their share, we can make this resource available to all Canadians at a low rate for years to come.

    What is your refund policy?

    Refunds for individual tickets will be issued up to 7 days before the event and are subject to a $45 cancellation fee. No refunds will be provided if the registered pass has already been accessed through the streaming platform.

    What is the childcare policy at in-person events?

    While families are very important to us, the Summit is an adult training event, so children and infants, including nursing infants, are not permitted in any of the sessions. Childcare is not available as we cannot guarantee a separate room for parents to stay with their children.

    We’d love to connect if you have any questions. Call us at (800) 804-0777 or email us at Office@GlobalLeadershipNetwork.ca.

    How can I host the GLS for my region?

    Do you have a missional focus in your organization or church that desires to see values-based leadership grow in your community? We’d love to have you consider joining the network and the Canadian GLS Hosting Team.

    The heartbeat of the Global Leadership Network is to convene leaders for personal, organizational, and community transformation.  Catalytic gatherings like the Global Leadership Summit are a starting point for connection and shared mission in your community.  Building this gathering into the annual rhythm of your region helps build relationships and grow momentum with impactful partners and leaders.
