If you have not been to a conference before you are missing the magic that happens when multiple Rotarians from many clubs gather in one place.  To add to the excitement this year we are bringing together two Districts so there will be even more people to learn from and we are able to leverage our dollars to bring you more bang for your buck.  One key benefit is the high caliber of Keynote Speakers including internationally renowned John O’Leary and incoming Rotary International Director Jennifer Jones.  In addition to inspiring plenaries and informative workshops we are placing a heavy emphasis on being family inclusive so please bring your families as there is plenty to do and we are wrapping the conference around some fun free time opportunities - organized options as well as other choices:  Quad Cities Activities.

Davenport is a great location on the banks of the Mississippi and we have two hotels to choose from. We are already 80% booked at the Blackhawk so act quickly if you want that hotel. BLACKHAWK HOTEL.  or  the RADDISON Quad City Plaza.   Two great venues attached to the convention center and walking distance to super city fun.

To summarize here is what I am asking you to do:

1. REGISTER FOR THE CONFERENCE, THEN PICK YOUR HOTEL.
2. THEN REGISTER FOR THURSDAY NIGHT'S FOUNDATION DINNER.
3. Register for extracurricular activities that you may be interested in - Information will be available on this soon.

I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible there!  Remember your club has been billed for the President Elect to attend conference so it makes sense that we get at least one representative from each club even if the PE is unable to attend but bring a few and I assure you it will pay dividends for your club!
