The third of five Rotary Presidential Conferences, which our African districts are very proud to host, takes place at Kelvin Grove in Cape Town on Saturday, 27th February, 2016.
 
The Conference provides a special, once-off opportunity for delegates to gain a better understanding of Rotary’s reach and impact, to experience diverse perspectives and to exchange ideas. Our speakers are a highlight of the Conference and you can expect to leave enthused and inspired.
 
With an address by RI President Ravi Ravindran, keynote speaker Clem Sunter, three plenary sessions and eight focus-area breakaways there is rich opportunity to engage on the topic with eminent leaders and to sustainably advance Rotary’s Economic Development goals.
 
The breakaway sessions promise stimulating and thought-provoking discussion. The topics, which will be led by experts in each field, are:
 
· Accessing resource and successful models
· Innovative ways to Access Funding
· Small, Medium and Micro Enterprise (SMME) Support Models
· Maximising the Role of Women in Enterprise Development
· Creating Community Partnerships
· Maximising the use of Technology and Research
· International Enterprise Successes
· Alternative Starter Support Models
· Change Management
 
The Conference is open to Rotary members and the general public and you are encouraged to book soon to avoid disappointment. Visit this link for more Conference information and to register online.
