Breakout sessions

Rotary International is now accepting proposals from groups wishing to organize and present a breakout session at the convention. Quality presenters are needed to share their knowledge with fellow Rotarians. 

Submit this form, available in English only, to the address listed on the form, or by e-mail, by 12 October.

Breakout sessions are designed to provide attendees with numerous options for learning and sharing. The sessions complement the convention's keynote speakers and plenary sessions, which will inspire you each morning. In addition, afternoon workshops, panel presentations, and interactive discussion groups will provide additional opportunities for fellowship and exchange of ideas.

The breakout sessions will take place during concurrent afternoon time slots on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, 7-9 May.  The overall program will support the 2011-12 RI theme, Reach Within to Embrace Humanity, and the emphases of Family, Continuity and Change. 

A portion of the breakout sessions will be selected through this open call for proposals.

Proposals for breakout sessions to be held in non-English languages will be considered, as non-English breakout sessions may be scheduled depending on  convention registration and the availability of interpretation services and equipment.

Questions? E-mail Norah Webster, Program Development Specialist in the International Meetings Division.
