Rotary eClub of London Centenary

For the first time in the history of Rotary, not one, but two countries look forward to co-hosting the first Rotary International Convention ever to be held in the Nordic Countries. This is a unique opportunity for Rotarians and their families to participate in Rotary International’s first Convention in its second century of existence and under the leadership of a Swedish Rotary International President.

We anticipate some 30,000 Rotarians and their families will visit both Malmö and Copenhagen during the four days of the RI Convention 2006. For weeks leading up to, and after the RI Convention, not only the Swedish and Danish areas spanning the Sound, but the entire Nordic region will become a Nordic showcase, and be transformed into a meeting place for Rotarians from all over the world.

This RI Convention 2006 provides a wonderful opportunity for us to promote the Nordic countries and the Oresund region in particular. They are all countries that are attractive to tourists, and at the same time highly competitive and very progressive nations with a wide variety of industries and services. We therefore expect a large amount of attention in connection with the RI Convention 2006, which is the direct result of a close co-operation between Swedish and Danish Rotarians.

The short distance across the Sound because of the tunnel and bridge connecting Sweden and Denmark makes it possible to have many opportunities for stimulating, interesting and memorable meetings at venues such as “Slagthuset” and “Konserthuset” in Malmö and the main Congress Center, “Bella Center”, in Copenhagen. Sweden and Denmark look forward to making you feel "Velkommen".
