Frequently Asked Questions

  • The annual Keepers of the Flame in Colorado remains untouched. This is a complementary event.

    Guardians was inspired by Keepers but it is a separate event and started online. This Edinburgh event is our first face-to-face event and is based in the UK.

  • Great question - the answer is yes subject to the criteria outlined on the eligibility page.

    For example, if you started chairing a US Vistage group in August of 2014, and stopped chairing with Vistage in the year September 2022 (8 years) and started chairing an independent group or with another organization at that date, then at the date of GOF you will have 2 years tenure in independent chairing. Those years cumulatively add up to the minimum requirement of 10 years

    For non-US chairs, the cumulative requirement is 5 years.

    Note: In all cases, you must have been a TEC or Vistage Chair with a launched group for at least part of the time required.

  • Well, it would be great for you and your partner to enjoy Edinburgh together. Partners are welcome but the GOF sessions and dinners are only for those passing the eligibility criteria.

    That said, we are providing lots of links and suggestions for extracurricular activities and options for your partners to enjoy the city while you are in session.
