What is the Global Lean Summit?

The Global Lean Summit (GLS) is an annual in-person event that is focused on bringing together leading Lean experts to help individuals and organizations to get to the next level in their Lean journey.

Are there group discounts?

Yes! You and your team will gain the most out of this Summit if you come as a group. As an incentive to encourage you to bring your team we offer the following discounts: From 3 to 9 team members you receive a 10% discount (use code: GROUP10 at checkout); for 10+ team members you receive a 20% discount (use code: GROUP20 at checkout).

Who is the summit designed for?

The summit is designed for those new to the concepts of Lean, Lean professionals, and Executives/Leaders. In short, the Global Lean Summit is designed for Everyone!

We design our sessions to maximize learning and offer different tracks to match the experience level to the audience. This is more than a conference, because we combine the hands on learning of a workshop into our Summit experience.
