The international delegate wants clarity before spending on travel.

AHLS is a leadership summit — not a visa service. For confirmed leaders and organizations, an invitation letter is an optional add-on. We issue it only after we verify your leadership and ties to home, interview you, and approve your request — and you are invited to pay only after approval.
