2017 District 9800 Conference

The overarching theme for the 2017 D9800 conference experience will be Social Cohesion, a critical societal element that research recognises as being seen in communities that prove to be particularly resilient in times of stress.

Rotary provides amazing opportunities to serve humanity in a practical and effective way. Come and hear how other Rotarians, the community and business leaders help their local communities and the wider world by joining together, engaging in ideas and taking action to connect communities and lead change.

High profile keynote speakers from diverse walks of life will address the theme of ‘Connecting Communities – Serving Humanity’. 

Our country has long been one of the most culturally diversified and liveable in the world. Explore how our communities work together, learn from each other and build social capital and cohesion.

Rotary’s worldwide powerful networks enable us to make a difference in promoting social cohesion and building capacity.

The community of Greater Shepparton is a prime example of leadership and innovation in its approach to our theme. Shepparton and the Goulburn Valley are also great places to visit before, during and after the conference.

See the excellent art and cultural centres, visit wine and fine food producers, explore local history or just take in the natural beauty of the area.

The conference will be fun, relevant and provide insights into community leadership and collaborative projects that are important in developing community resilience, social capital, and building social inclusion.
