There are now just 2.5 months until the 2023 RI Convention in Melbourne, but there is still time to register for what promises to be an extraordinary event.Rotary Conventions bring together in one place the entire Rotary Family to share their Rotary passion and connect for inspiration, learning and fellowship.
Because they are held in a different location around the world each year, RI conventions provide a wonderful opportunity to combine a fabulous Rotary extravaganza with a great holiday.
Melbourne is an exciting, vibrant, and outward looking city with so much to see and do - not just as part of the convention, but also pre- and post-Convention; and if Melbourne is your home, you might be very surprised at what you find when you holiday at home!
“Revenge Travel” is the latest thing – making up for all the lost travel opportunities due to the COVID pandemic. Travelling close to home is a lot less expensive and think of the costs you didn’t incur by not attending cancelled district conferences, other International Conventions and by not having that interstate or overseas trip!
There is the convention program, chock full of inspirational speakers and entertainment, more than 75 breakout sessions, a fantastic House of Friendship showcasing so many Rotary programs, projects, fellowships, and merchandise. There are great hospitality events for all interests and budgets, special luncheons, a gala welcome event at the Melbourne Museum and many other special events.
It is not too late to register: convention.rotary.org for the RI Convention, and an early bird registration rate is still available until 31 March 2023.
Yours in Rotary,
Tony Spring
