Mark your calendars to travel to Kingston on April 25, 2026, for a full day of Rotary fellowship, learning and fun at The Ambassador Conference Centre at the Hilton DoubleTree and Home2Suites (formerly known as The Ambassador Hotel).
For those who are staying a night or two, the weekend will include optional and social events on Friday, an off-site welcome reception. On Sunday, try a Friendly Pickleball game (for the Foundation).

Why Attend?
When Rotarians come together, ideas become action. This conference is an opportunity to connect, learn, and strengthen the impact we make in our communities.
Explore the Conference
Is it a One-Day Conference?
Technically, yes. The conference content - all speakers, general sessions, most of the breakouts, and traditions like the Parade of Flags and Memorial Service - will all take place on Saturday.
Even a fun early morning wake-up session in the pool!
What happens on Friday?
Options for a tour of Kingston, including an opportunity to be up close with an Iron Lung (Polio), a tour of a BCG (Youth programming), a Monarch Butterfly movie and a pre-conference breakout session.
The 30-minute District meeting is also on Friday afternoon, and a fabulous Welcome Reception.
What happens on Sunday?
For those who wish to extend the fun, there is a “Fun Pickleball for the Foundation!” and a service activity.
Stay tuned for how to register for optional events.
Accommodation
Take advantage of incredibly low room rates (just CAD$179/night + taxes/fees) until March 23. This is especially helpful for anyone who has enough of a commute that would make one day just too long for comfort.
“Attending the District Conference is always a highlight of the year. It brings together passionate people, fresh ideas, and a shared commitment to making a difference. I always leave inspired and ready to take action.”
— Jessica, Rotary Club of Kanata
