Rotary’s biggest event is the annual RI Convention, a celebration of the year’s accomplishments with a focus on Rotary’s future. Once you attend an RI Convention you will better understand the diversity and scope of the organization. Register for the 2008 RI Convention in Los Angeles and See the Stars!

Many other events happen throughout the Rotary world, such as presidents-elect training seminars, which prepare incoming club presidents, and district leadership seminars, which help Rotarians further develop their leadership skills and learn about opportunities in Rotary. At the International Assembly, the annual training meeting for incoming district governors, the theme for the new Rotary year is announced.

Another Rotary event is the Council on Legislation, Rotary’s parliament, which meets every three years.
