The Pre-Conference is September 18-20, 2018 and the Conference is September 20-22, 2018 at the Hotel Bonaventure in Montreal
The 2018 Montreal Zone Conference will address our goals as Rotarians and the ways to make Rotary an integral part of our thinking, doing, and actions – with a goal of inspiring leadership for change and innovative solutions among all Rotarians in addressing the future of Rotary both locally and globally. We believe in the importance of connecting the global goals and local actions by bringing together youth and senior leaders, subject matter experts, people of action, and Governors to exchange views and share knowledge and practices about transforming Rotary’s goals into concrete actions that can help in shaping and moving our clubs and communities forward in growing Rotary.
Through specially tailored committees and panels, innovative working groups, and guest lectures you will engage with topics related to Rotary’s Goals, such as ending poverty, human rights, education, employment, environment, inequalities, sustainable cities and communities, peace and justice, among others. There’s no sitting in the back of the class for these events. It’s interactive, and all about your engagement!
Given the motto of the conference, “People Coming Together”, this extraordinary event will not only challenge you to think out of the box, but encourage you to form friendships that will build our future leaders in Rotary.
