Celebrate 100th Rotary convention
2009 RI Convention in Birmingham, England, 21-24 June. Be a part of history and celebrate the 100th Rotary convention, which will take place in Birmingham, the heart of England!
If you haven't been back to Birmingham since the 1984 convention, you may not recognize this former industrial town. Now a lively canal city known for its outstanding shopping and dining, Birmingham - or Brum, as the natives call it - underwent a dramatic facelift in the 1990s. The transformation resulted in a modern, more pedestrian-friendly city that retains traces of its medieval and Industrial Age roots.
Convention venue: The National Exhibition Centre is Europe's busiest venue, staging more than 180 exhibitions each year. Its 21 interconnected halls offer plenty of space for convention activities such as registration services, plenary sessions, the House of Friendship and exhibits, convention luncheons, workshops and interactive discussion groups, and the Rotaract and Youth Exchange preconvention meetings.
