The Rotary International Convention will travel to Toronto, Ontario, Canada, where there’s Inspiration Around Every Corner, 23-27 June. As a global center of business, finance, arts, and culture, Toronto is vibrant, friendly, and diverse — just like Rotary. And like Rotary, Canada’s largest city offers something for everyone: museums, restaurants and shopping, stunning architecture, and more.
Engage with people and ideas that are transforming lives. Discover innovative perspectives from world-renowned speakers, take part in stimulating breakout sessions, and explore innovative solutions to community problems at the House of Friendship.
Downtown Toronto is home to some of North America’s most popular attractions, including the soaring CN Tower, Royal Ontario Museum, Ripley’s Aquarium, and the Hockey Hall of Fame — as well as a wide array of fantastic restaurants, art galleries in gorgeously restored distilleries, and a thrilling entertainment district.
Whether you’ve just joined Rotary or you’re an experienced member, our annual convention is an unparalleled opportunity to immerse yourself in diverse cultures and develop rich relationships. Connect with peers of influence from across the globe and deepen your friendships with kindred spirits who share your desire for meaningful action.
Toronto is a diverse city with lots of great neighborhoods and food to explore. Share unforgettable experiences at exhibits and events — including our Ribfest on 27 June. The festivities will culminate in a concert by a spectacular artist that you won’t want to miss.
The opportunities for learning are endless. You’ll hear about new approaches and strategies for successful projects, uncover ways to attract and engage members in your area, and bring home a renewed passion that will inspire your club members.
Breathtaking adventures surround Toronto in every direction. From one of the world’s great natural wonders to luxurious resorts and award-winning waterfront golf courses, you’ll be inspired to explore—whether it’s by car, ferry, or plane.
Keep these dates in mind. Be sure to register by 15 December for early registration savings.
