District 57 is delighted to invite you to our final Conference as a District: a meaningful milestone and a celebration you won’t want to miss. To mark the occasion, we’re returning to one of our most memorable and stylish past venues: the Rohnert Park DoubleTree in beautiful Rohnert Park, California.
This special event will celebrate our final year as District 57 while also looking ahead. We are exploring exciting opportunities to collaborate with Districts 4, 39, and 33, with the goal of sharing in each other’s conferences and expanding our collective experience.
Our theme is Carrying the Torch: Honoring the Past, Igniting the Future. Our keynote speaker will be Past International President, Michael Notaro DTM. After his speech, we will have multiple educational sessions with topics such as Improv. The day will culminate with the International Speech and Table Topics Contests, taking place in the afternoon, an inspiring showcase of talent and achievement.
