Ny digital konferanse internasjonalt. Sett av dagene 12.-16.juni. Nærmere beskjed kommer.
Dear Friends
I hope that this mail reaches you in
good health and after a Happy Easter with time to relax. Due to Covid19 many of
us cannot reach out to family and friends as we use to do, so we have to see
each other virtual.
As you probably already know the
fact is for the upcoming Rotary International Convention in Taipei has been
cancelled as an in-person convention and will be held as Virtual Convention
2021.
The Convention Committee is already
working hard to give us a fantas;tic Virtual Convention. The Committee will
soon share more details about the 2021 Rotary International Virtual Convention.
Here’s what you need to know now:
Virtual Convention RegistrationThe Virtual Convention will be open
to all Rotary members and participants.
Event registration will open in
mid-April and will include a promotional fee of $49 for 21 days, with an increase
afterward to $65. It is still not possible to register at the website.
Some will ask why a registration fee
is needed this year. There are costs associated with producing a virtual event,
and a nominal fee is required in order to cover the expenses of delivering a
high quality experience to the participants. Last year RI were fortunate in
that insurance helped RI recover the majority of costs associated with
cancelling our live event. This year, no such insurance is available.
The Rotaract, Youth Exchange Officer
and Inter-Country Committee preconventions will be held 10-11 June 2021.
The cost of each preconvention event is $20.
Both the convention and
preconvention events include access to the House of Friendship. Please continue
to check back for more details and updates.
Virtual House of Friendship Our virtual House of Friendship is
where convention attendees gather to learn about Rotary products and services,
share project information, and shop.
Those interested in showcasing their
product or service should email exhibitor@rotary.org for more information or to request an
exhibit application.
Convention, preconvention, and
ticket refunds RI is currently in the process of
automatically cancelling and refunding all existing registrations. This
includes purchases made for Rotaract, Youth Exchange, and Intercountry
Committees preconvention events, and ticketed meal events.
We kindly ask that you NOT contact
RI Registration to inquire about registration, ticket, or housing cancellations
as they work diligently on finalizing the process of those cancellations and
refunds. Those who had already canceled prior to today will receive a refund of
the $50 processing fee.
Host Organization Committee (HOC)
ticketed event registrations
The HOC event ticket fees will be
refunded by the Taipei HOC. For more information, please visit rotarytaipei2021.org.
Hotel rooms No action is required from those
attendees who made accommodations secured within Rotary’s official housing
block. Maritz, formerly Experient and Rotary’s official housing partner, has
already cancelled all individual and group room block reservations and refunded
the groups who made partial payments.
Let’s save the dates 12.-16. June. I
will bring an update as soon as possible.
Warm regards from Anette
Anette Lowert, Convention Promoter
