The Guiding Lights Network specializes in the art of the gathering, creating experiences that spark civic imagination and social change. From national conferences to corporate workshops, GLN events bring together leaders, catalysts, and innovators in creative and unlikely ways to generate new solutions to collective challenges.
The Network is best known as the producer of the annual Guiding Lights Weekend, now in its 6th year in Seattle. The Weekend, a highly experiential celebration of life-long learning and community-building, highlights the work of extraordinary individuals and organizations from across many sectors.
