Frequently Asked Questions

Location & Dates

+ What is the difference between attending the Summit Onsite vs. a Premier Host Site?

Attendance at the Willow Creek campus provides the energy of an expected 9,300 attendees experiencing programing and most of the faculty in person. The live stream of the Summit at a Premier Host Site is preferred by some attendees for convenience, affordability and connectivity to leaders in their local community.

+ 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 by mid-July; however, a registrant's name can still be added or changed before printing the final ticket.

+ Do you prorate team rate pricing on additional registration purchases?

Teams need to register at the same time to receive the team rate pricing. We cannot prorate on previously purchased registrations.

+ Can I bring my children to the conference?

Families are very important to us. GLN training events are designed to be world-class and distraction-free learning environments.

While we think our events are compelling, kids may find them to be boring and work to create their own entertainment that distracts other guests. Seating is provided only for registered guests and children are not allowed within the viewing area. Since our events are held in a diversity of churches and venues, we are not able to provide childcare. We encourage local venues to provide separate spaces for nursing mothers where the event can be viewed.

International

+ How can international guests purchase a ticket?

International guests are invited to The Global Leadership Summit in South Barrington by WCA leaders in their country. If you have not received an invitation from a WCA leader in your country, we encourage you to attend the Global Leadership Summit in your country. Find a GLS near you at http://global.willowcreek.com/

Cancellations for international guests will be fully refunded unless received less than 14 days before the event start date. Late cancellations (less than 14 days before the event start date) will be charged a $30 fee. Please email your Country Director or contact wcainternational@willowcreek.com for a refund.

+ During The Global Leadership Summit, where will international guests get lunch?

Lunch is included in the registration cost for international guests. Your lunch location will be on the Summit ticket you receive by email before the conference. In addition, there is a list of lunch locations by country in the Summit Experience Guide you will receive at check-in.
