In 2021, the Conference Committee is hosting a digital conference to CHALLENGE YOUR THINKING. We are living through unprecedented circumstances, and we are being presented with a choice. The world that stands before each and every one of us requires us to challenge our thinking, to create a more resilient, sustainable and inclusive future.
Join us on 15 May 2021 on our digital platform in a mix of speaker sessions and networking.
Our Conference hopes to serve our Rotaract community. We can go back to the normal we knew before the pandemic forced society to adapt, helping those in need in ways that we are comfortable with, or to move forwards, thinking creatively and looking at new and innovative ways to provide support for the most vulnerable in our communities.
