How do I register?

  • Every country has its own registration form, but if you haven’t decided yet you can also use the general LGA registration form on the website, in the brochure attachment or we can simply email it to you.
  • You can fill out the registration form and email it back to us or send it by mail.
  • LGA registration costs will be deducted from the program costs, so they are not extra costs.

  • You will receive a LGA invoice of your registration and later on an invoice of the total program costs.
