Join us for the 2027 Multi-District Conference, a weekend of fun, fellowship, and Rotary spirit! This year's conference will take place at the Mystic Marriott Hotel & Spa in Groton, Connecticut, from Thursday, May 20th to Sunday, May 23rd, 2027.
We'll come together to create lasting impact — around the world, in our communities, and in ourselves; through fun and informative sessions — and inspiring guest speakers — we'll celebrate our clubs' achievements, foster collaboration, and learn more about Rotary across Districts 7210, 7255, 7890, 7980, and 7930.
Why Attend?
The Multi-District Conference is more than just a weekend — it's an opportunity to:
- Connect with Rotarians from across five districts spanning New York, Connecticut, and Massachusetts.
- Meet Rotary Youth Exchange Students, RYLArians, and Interact Students.
- Discover the larger impact of Rotary and what you can do to make a difference.
- Share new project ideas and spark collaborations.
- Build friendships and enjoy fellowship with old ones.
Featured Speakers
This year's conference features a powerful and inspiring speaker lineup, with more speakers to be announced:
- Joseph Dittmar – a 9/11 survivor sharing a moving firsthand account of resilience.
- Michael Angelo Caruso – Rotarian, Zone 28 Public Image Coordinator, keynote speaker, and Founder of Edison House, known for his engaging talks on leadership, presentation skills, and communication.
- Cindie Kish – Zone 32 Rotary Coordinator, bringing a wealth of Rotary leadership experience.
A Weekend of Sessions and Fellowship
Thursday afternoon the conference team will be onsite getting everything ready, so come down Thursday night to meet fellow Rotarians and get the lay of the land before the conference gets into full swing. (Check with your district — some, but not all, may have Thursday evening events planned.)
Friday kicks off with registration and breakfast, followed by a full day of presentations. The evening is yours to explore on your own — or possibly an optional group excursion to Foxwoods (depending on interest).
Saturday continues with breakfast and morning presentations, an open afternoon for lunch on your own, and wraps up with a festive Gala Dinner in the evening.
Sunday closes out the conference with breakfast and a memorial service honoring the Rotarians we've lost this past year
Explore Mystic & the Connecticut Shoreline
Groton is a scenic coastal getaway, and we encourage Rotarians to bring spouses, partners, and families along for the adventure. Right in the heart of coastal New England, you'll find charming waterfront towns, historic sites, and plenty to explore.
Nearby attractions include:
- Mystic Seaport Museum – the nation's leading maritime museum, just minutes from the hotel.
- Mystic Aquarium – home to beluga whales and hands-on exhibits, a favorite for all ages.
- Foxwoods Resort Casino and Mohegan Sun – two of the largest casino resorts in the country, both nearby.
- Mystic Pizza – the iconic pizzeria made famous by the classic film of the same name.
- U.S. Coast Guard Academy – a beautiful campus and home to historic tall ship the Eagle.
- Downtown New London – dining, shopping, and entertainment along the Connecticut shoreline.
Whether you're coming for the sessions, the fellowship, or the coastal New England charm, you'll leave inspired, connected, and ready to continue to create Lasting Impact through Rotary.
