Join our keynote speaker, Pres Vasilev, 2013 World Champion of Public Speaking, as he kicks off the conference with his Saturday morning opening keynote speech, the Directors Dinner & Dance keynote and an inspiring Sunday workshop, giving us the award-winning tips that garnered him the coveted title of 2013 World Champion of Public Speaking.

Join our Workshop presenters as they inspire, and entertain throughout the 2-1/2 day conference.

Hear tales of inspiration from:

the Communication and Leadership award recipient, a deserving community member,
the Exemplary award recipient, a Toastmasters past leader, and

Can’t wait to see the agenda? Check out last year’s programme for an inkling of what may come: 2025 District 123 Annual Conference Programme. Contests will differ (2026 Table Topics, Humorous, and International Speech Contest versus 2025 Evaluation, Tall Tales, and International), and workshops change, it will still be the warm, inviting, and inspiring conference we look forward to.
