🌏 What is the Rotary International Convention?
The Rotary International Convention is an annual gathering that brings together members of Rotary clubs worldwide. It’s a platform for Rotarians to exchange ideas, celebrate achievements, and plan future initiatives aimed at fostering global understanding, goodwill, and peace.
📍 Why Taipei?
Taipei was chosen as the host city for the 2026 convention due to its vibrant culture, advanced infrastructure, and the active participation of Taiwanese Rotary members. The city’s commitment to international collaboration and its strategic location in Asia make it an ideal venue for such a global event.
🏟️ Main Venues
The convention’s primary events will be held at the Nangang Exhibition Center Halls 1 and 2. Additionally, the opening and closing ceremonies are planned to take place at the Taipei Dome, providing ample space and state-of-the-art facilities for attendees.
🤝 Government Support
The Rotary International Convention 2026 is not just a milestone—it’s a point of pride for Taiwan.
The Taiwanese government has demonstrated wholehearted support for this global event. President Lai Ching-te has publicly acknowledged Rotary’s long-standing contributions to humanitarian efforts worldwide and emphasized the convention’s role in promoting Taiwan as a beacon of democracy, peace, and global cooperation. This level of national endorsement reflects the shared values between Rotary and Taiwan: service, inclusion, and positive change.
On the local level, the Taipei City Government is fully engaged, working hand-in-hand with Rotary International to deliver a smooth, welcoming, and world-class experience for every attendee. This includes everything from logistics coordination and venue readiness, to city-wide branding efforts that will turn Taipei into a vibrant Rotary-themed celebration.
📣 Expect to see the spirit of Rotary come alive in every corner of the city—on public transportation, at cultural sites, and across digital platforms—welcoming guests from around the globe with open arms.
