Promoting conventions

L et fellow Rotarians know about Rotary's biggest event, the RI Convention. This celebration of Rotary fosters fellowship, creates learning opportunities, and helps attendees experience the scope and power of Rotary. 

To promote new convention information and increase awareness, you can include convention updates, articles, and graphics in your Rotary club and district newsletters and Web sites.  

RI offers several resources to help you promote the convention

• PowerPoint for club or district convention promotion
• Convention e-bulletin (sign up through Member Access )

Graphics and photos
Visit RI's graphic section to find the latest convention graphics, including convention logos and banners, which can help connect your district and club Web sites to convention information on the RI Web site. You can find photos from past RI conventions on Rotary Images

Learn best practices for incorporating Rotary graphics into your promotional materials in the RI Visual Identity Guide .
