Is the programming the same at all locations?
All programming elements including plenaries, music, drama, video and dance emanate from the Willow Creek campus in South Barrington, IL. All of these elements are broadcast live in August. While our goal is to provide a consistent experience the rebroadcast in October may have a few artistic elements removed due to copyright restrictions.

Who qualifies for scholarship tickets?
All full-time high school, undergraduate and graduate students are eligible for the student rate.

How do I register for the Global Leadership Summit?
What is your cancellation policy?
CANCELLATION POLICY
For a fee of $45 per ticket, our policy allows cancellation of Regular & Student ticket registrations no later than one week prior to the event. When a registration is made for any of our conferences, we begin to prepare a spot for that guest—conference materials are printed, food ordered. The $45 fee to cancel helps offset the preparation costs already incurred. All group rate tickets are non-refundable.
TRANSFER POLICY
At no cost, you may at any time prior to 7 days before the event, transfer the name or location associated with the ticket registration.
How do I update attendee information?
Each registered attendee is able to update their information. If you registered as a group, you can also update your group members information. Click here to learn how to edit attendee information.
Can I share a registration with someone if I can't attend the entire event?
We do not provide the option to share registrations between multiple individuals. The event has been designed as a holistic experience and is best if attended in its entirety.
Do I need to have all the names of our group when I register?
We allow groups to reserve “empty registrations” and then submit names of those who will be attending at a later date. We encourage you to enter those names three weeks before the event.
I am attending the Summit at a Premier Host Site. Where can I find nearby accommodations?
Please contact your Premier Host Site of choice to see what accommodations might be available.
I am attending the Summit live in Chicago. Where can I find nearby accommodations?
Are children permitted?
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.
