Our Theme: Chart Your Course

This year's theme reflects our commitment to three essential pillars:

Honoring Our Legacy - We celebrate the achievements, traditions, and milestones that have shaped District 117 into the thriving community it is today.

Guided by Values - We recommit to the core values of integrity, respect, service, and excellence that define the Toastmasters experience.

Leading with Purpose - We empower every member to take intentional action toward their personal and professional goals, creating positive impact in their clubs, workplaces, and communities.

What Makes This Conference Special

This conference is a part of history. This will be our last conference as District 117 before we merge into District 217. It is the end of an era and the beginning of a new one!

This isn't your typical conference. From the moment you arrive on Friday afternoon to the closing ceremony on Saturday evening, you'll be immersed in an environment designed to challenge, inspire, and connect you with like-minded individuals who share your passion for growth.

You'll witness the district's best speakers compete for the championship titles. You'll learn cutting-edge communication techniques from expert facilitators. You'll celebrate the remarkable achievements of your fellow Toastmasters. And you'll leave with renewed energy, practical skills, and friendships that extend far beyond the weekend.
