May 1, and 3 - 6, 2021

Videos of select sessions are available. Scroll-down and watch at your leisure.

In the interest of the safety of Rotarians and the general public, due to the novel coronavirus pandemic, the 2021 conference, previously scheduled to have been held in Oshkosh, Wisconsin on April 30 and May 1, was transitioned into an online-only event.

With this new online format providing opportunities for both veteran conference attendees, and those who have never attended to experience a Rotary district conference, attendance was strong, and interest high.
