Youth Exchange Preconvention and Banquet

Youth Exchange Officers Preconvention

Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center (TaiNEX)

After several decades and countless connections made, the Rotary Youth Exchange Preconvention is evolving!

Beginning with the 2026 Rotary International Convention in Taipei, the Preconvention will take on a new format—a one-day event focused on celebration and networking. This new event offers a more dynamic and accessible experience for current and prospective Youth Exchange leaders, participants, and alumni.

Rotary Youth Exchange Preconvention

Saturday, 13 June | $65

Program Features:

  • Immerse yourself in a fun and exciting atmosphere where you can celebrate the achievements and milestones of the Rotary Youth Exchange program.
  • Make valuable connections with Rotary club and district leaders, participants, and alumni. This is your chance to build relationships that can enhance your Rotary journey and open doors to new opportunities.
  • Be inspired by Rotary International Presidents and other influential figures who will share their experiences and insights about Rotary Youth Exchange. Their stories will motivate you to make a positive impact in your community and beyond.
  • Engage with more leaders and expand your network. The Preconvention is designed to welcome a wide range of voices and perspectives from the Rotary Youth Exchange community to enrich the experience of all, whether you are looking to get involved in the program for the first time or are a dedicated leader. 

The Rotary Youth Exchange Preconvention will be held all day Saturday.
