News n°47 – The 2027 International Convention in Barcelona

Transcript :

Originally planned for Dubai, the 2027 Rotary International Convention will finally be held in Barcelona from June 26 to 30.

This strategic decision was taken due to the current geopolitical context in the Gulf region, in order to guarantee participants a peaceful, accessible and secure event.

This change illustrates Rotary’s ability to adapt to international challenges, while preserving the essentials: bringing together thousands of members from around the world around common values of service, friendship and peace.

Barcelona, an open, dynamic city with major infrastructure for large congresses, offers a particularly favorable setting to host this global event.

The Convention remains a key moment in Rotary life: inspiring conferences, intercultural exchanges, discoveries of humanitarian projects and celebration of collective impact.

In 2027, the Rotary community will therefore meet in Spain to continue its mission: to serve first and strengthen ties between peoples.
