I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: You’re not a full-grown Rotaractor if you haven’t experienced a District Rotaract Conference. Those who’ve been before know—this is the event of events. Allow me to brag a little… I am beyond excited to welcome you into our home, our culturally rich plaza, our creative hub, our Fawaka. Don’t make me say it again…See you in Switi Sranan!”

District Conference in our vibrant District 7030 is so much more than just a series of learning sessions—it’s a full immersion into the rich, diverse culture of the Caribbean. Over the years, I’ve watched friendships blossom and lasting connections form at Conference, and it’s nothing short of magical.

I’m excited to share that our 2025 District Conference will be hosted in the vibrant and beautiful Suriname — and you’re in for an unforgettable experience! I previously visited for a joint international service project, and the fellowship, culture, food, and nightlife were unmatched. But beyond the fun, District Conference is where we grow, connect, and reignite our Rotaract passion.

They say your first conference is always extra special, and my first conference in Suriname 2014 certainly was. To this day, having traveled all throughout the Caribbean, Suriname is one of the most unique places in our region. The people, the food, the culture…I love it all, and if you weren’t sure about going, trust me, you should!”

🧠 Engage & Evolve: A Candid Rotaract Talk
Topic Focus: Rotaract Culture & Engagement
This isn’t just another panel it’s an open and honest conversation about what’s working in Rotaract, what’s not, and where we go from here.
We’ll talk about things like:
Are we too focused on service?
Why are some members disengaged?
🧠 Your perspective matters. Join the discussion.
🎯 Goal: Reflect, reimagine, and find real solutions together.

🦈 Fawaka Shark Tank
Topic Focus: Community Impact & Innovation
It’s pitch time! In teams, you’ll develop a creative project idea aligned with Rotary’s Areas of Focus, then pitch it to our Sharks. Can you convince them to “invest”?
🧠 Think big. Think bold. Think beyond your club.
🎯 Goal: Strengthen your project design and pitching skills while tackling challenges.
This weekend is about you your leadership, your voice, your vision for the future. So, jump in. Stand tall. Share boldly. Collaborate. This isn’t just training, it’s transformation!
