Frequently Asked Questions
who should attend the gls?
The GLS is where anyone who wants to grow their influence and impact can access world-class leadership training within their local community. It’s a powerful resource for those looking to build leadership skills and connect with other leaders in their community. Whether you’re in ministry, academia, marketplace, or a not-for-profit, the GLS offers ideas, tools, and inspiration that will raise your leadership capacity.
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.
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.
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. Learn more about Leading the GLS in your community through this link.
What is the childcare policy at in-person events?
The Global Leadership Summit is a professional adult training event. For the consideration of all paying guests, young children who may detract from the training experience are not permitted to accompany parents in the auditorium.
If special accommodation is required, please call us at (800) 804-0777 or email us at [email protected].
