Frequently asked questions
Registration
Where can I register?
Online registration can be completed directly through our website’s secure online platform. Choose an option (i.e., Full Forum Registration, ICLEI/BARC Member Registration, or Single Day Registration) to begin the process. Early bird, regular, and late registration fees will automatically be applied based on your registration date.
What do the registration fees include?
Registration fees give delegates access to all sessions, meals, breaks, and networking events. Please note that registration rates do not include applicable taxes — these will be added to your registration during checkout and will be listed as a separate line item on the payment receipt.
Are discounts available?
We are pleased to offer several discount options to make LCF as accessible as possible, while covering the hard costs of hosting the Forum. Special rates are available to ICLEI and BARC members, sponsors, and speakers. Student and equity discounts will be available once details are finalized. Please contact us to learn more or join our email list to receive the latest LCF updates.
Will I receive a receipt?
You will receive a confirmation email (which includes a payment receipt) once you register. Please be sure to check your spam folder as the emails may have been sent there. If you have not received these emails within 24 hours, please email us at lcf@iclei.org.
Can I register on the behalf of someone else?
You can fill out the registration form with the information of the person who will be attending the Forum. Note that the confirmation email (which inlcudes the payment receipt) and all future Forum communications will be sent to the email address entered in the registration form.
Are registrations transferable?
Registrations can be transferred anytime before 5 pm ET, September 21, 2023.

The preliminary program is currently available on the program page of the LCF website. Please join our email list to receive the latest LCF updates including program updates.
Will there be options for virtual participation?
LCF sessions are uniquely designed to include interactive and engaging workshops, trainings, discussion forums, and many networking and hands-on learning opportunities. Most sessions are designed to allow participants extensive time to interact and dialogue with one another and will not be streamed online. This being said, we will include some hybrid sessions in the program.

Will this be a bilingual event?
We are pleased to include several french elements woven throughout the LCF experience. Stay tuned for more information. Join our email list to receive the latest LCF updates.

We are working hard to convene diverse speakers who can share stories, innovative ideas, and lessons learned on the program themes and engage in thoughtful, valuable dialogue with delegates.

Can I speak at the event or make a recommendation for a speaker?
