2008 ROTARY INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION

Rotarians can bask in the abundant California sunshine that streams into the lobbies and concourse of the award-winning Los Angeles Convention Center. This architectural feat of glass and steel offers 720,000 square feet of exhibit space, an Internet-ready business center, and fine dining. A short distance from many hotels and across the street from the Staples Center, the convention center is the site of

  • Registration services

  • Plenary sessions

  • House of Friendship and exhibits

  • Workshops and luncheons

  • Commemorative service project

 

The International Institute and the Rotaract and Youth Exchange preconvention meetings will also be held at the convention center.
