Save the date for the 2022 Zone 8 Rotary and Rotaract ‘Better Together’ Conference in Canberra ACT.

With borders opening and COVID-19 restrictions easing, now is the time to begin planning your attendance at “Better Together” Zone 8 Conference in Canberra.

From Friday 28 October to Sunday 30 October, the conference will celebrate the very best of Rotary and Rotaract.

We have experienced a lot over the last three years since we met in person and now is the time to reflect and to look at where we are heading. The future is looking hopeful and together we can share what we have learnt and to showcase the impact of our projects.

It is time to catch up with friends and renew those connections that make our organisation a truly unique one – friendships are for life.

The stories of Rotaractors and Rotarians helping locally and internationally need to be heard and this is the time to tell them. We have a diverse and exciting lineup of speakers to entertain, engage and inform you.

Special social events are being planned to show off Australia’s capital including the conference dinner which will be sure to delight!

In addition to the conference, why not take some time out to stay longer in Canberra to appreciate what this wonderful city has to offer. 

Tickets sales will open in May 2022 so ensure you keep your clubs and members informed as we can’t wait to see you soon.

We want all Rotarians and Rotaractors across the Zone to know that this is an event not to be missed - because we really are Better Together!

Please feel free to share this information with your networks.

Sincerely,
Your South Pacific and Philippines Club and District Support Team
