Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Canada not offering a public in-person GLS experience in 2020?
With the uncertainty of government physical distancing measures and limitations on group sizes, the GLN team in Canada has chosen to exclusively provide the GLS as a LIVE Online Experience on August 6-7, 2020.
I’m on holidays August 6-7, 2020 – can I still attend?
As a special bonus, with every ticket, we are also offering 7 days of Video-On-Demand (VOD) free of charge – extended to 30 Day VOD for a small fee. No need to miss out on a single moment.
What’s included in my Online GLS Experience?
Your Online GLS Experience includes 2 days of powerful online content broadcast LIVE from the stage in Chicago, 7 additional days of the Video-On-Demand, a digital GLS notebook and other interactive resources to enhance your experience.
Can one web streaming code be shared with my colleagues at work?
One ticket purchase is required for each member of a team participating in the GLS. If you choose to have multiple colleagues gather to view it 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.
Why is the GLS specially priced this year?
Many leaders are experiencing hardship during the Covid-19 pandemic – yet, more than ever, need fresh encouragement and new skills. At GLS Canada, we are committed to helping make this exclusive event super affordable for everyone with a special one-time offer.
If you can afford it, it’s the perfect year to gift a GLS ticket to a friend who could use the encouragement.
