EVENTS & WEBINARS

Join us at an Event or Webinar to Learn More

RSVP ahead of time for any in-person event or online information session so we know to expect you!

Global Leadership Adventures staff and alumni host and attend in-person events around the country – and around the world – giving you and your family the opportunity to meet us in person.

These are wonderful opportunities to speak with experts on GLA programs and learn more about what you can expect when you travel abroad. Come join us at an open house or fair nearest you!

Global Leadership Adventures staff also host a variety of online events so you can meet with us from the comfort of your home, office or classroom.

Join us online for online information sessions and pre-departure meetings by choosing to attend a web-based event. Especially if you can’t make it to an in-person event, you can meet GLA staff online and get all your questions answered.

The GLA Admissions Team also hosts a weekly online open house on Zoom for families who wish to learn more and ask questions in an informal environment. These typically take place at 4:00pm Pacific Time each Wednesday, though we have a morning open forum on the first Wednesday of each month at 8:00am PT.

RSVP for an Upcoming Event

Global Leadership Adventures staff and alumni families are eager to share their experiences on GLA programs and everything they know with you. Meet Ups and Open Houses are hosted in-person either by GLA Staff or GLA alumni families who graciously open their homes to prospective students and parents.

This is a great opportunity to hear a first-hand account of what it is like to participate in a GLA program. From organizing flights, to packing tips, to life at a GLA Home Base, they have experienced it and are happy to share their thoughts and advice with you!

After you sign up to save your spot at an in-person event, we’ll email you a confirmation with the all the event details.

Do you want to host an open house for GLA? If you’re an interested alumni student or parent, please email us at info@experiencegla.com with the subject line “Open House Host Interest” and we’ll connect with you.

Fairs & Expos

IN PERSON

Global Leadership Adventures event reps attend summer opportunity fairs and international travel expos across the country and around the world each year.

Frequently taking place between December and April, we encourage you to check out fairs in your area or region to see if GLA is planning to attend.

While our representatives attend in-person fairs at schools and other venues throughout the year, because these fairs are hosted by outside organizations, you won’t need to RSVP for them with us, but instead with the host school or organization.

However, each event host or provider may have additional steps for attending and/or registering, so please be sure to check with the event provider ahead of the event date for more information.
