Evaluation contest in English: this year we are reviving this kind of contest in which evaluators are judged!
The District Council meeting: this is a meeting of District and Club officers where, among other things, the District Officers for 2024-2025 will be elected. Club Presidents, Vice Presidents of Education, Area Directors, Division Directors and the District Core team will vote and everyone else may attend and watch! The meeting itself will be conducted online but we will meet in person at the conference site.
Keynote speeches: there will be fantastic keynote speeches that will leave no one untouched!
Gala Dinner: Time travel and dress up like is the 20´s. It´s time for partyyyyy!
After dinner the winner of the International, Portuguese, Spanish and French Speech Contests and Evaluation Contest will be announced and the party will continue!
Whatever you do, don’t make other plans for Saturday night - you’d be crazy to miss this!
Workshops: on Sunday morning there will be useful workshops about Toastmasters-related topics - and then some non-related too. This is another great opportunity to learn from other fellow Toastmasters who are very experienced in their fields of expertise.
