GLC Virtual is designed for JA staff at all levels. This time we also have JA stakeholder sessions for teachers, volunteers, and board members. You can find more info here: jaworldwide.org/glc.

It’s free! GLC Virtual is presented at no cost to JA offices around the world for the first time. We need your help to spread the word to ensure every JA staff member has the opportunity to attend—so don’t forget to tell a colleague!

Of course! The focus of the two events is different, with GLC Virtual focusing on professional staff development and GLC Rio focusing on leadership, innovation, and vision (with no functional training). If you have the budget and time to attend both, we highly recommend it.

As with GLC 2023, the platform for GLC Virtual will be VFairs, with sessions conducted on zoom.

GLC Virtual has been designed with flexibility in mind. We understand that not every workshop, panel, or master class will be relevant to your role, and we understand that not everyone will be able to attend every event live due to workloads, schedules, and time zones. Pick what works for you. If you’re only able to attend one event, that’s great! If you’re able to attend all of them, that’s even better. We want you to make the most out of GLC Virtual. Recordings of all GLC events will be available to watch even after GLC Virtual 2025 ends.
