2025 District 5030 Learning Symposium

We are still taking registrations for the 2025 District 5030 Learning Symposium being held on Saturday, April 19, 2025, from 7:30 am – 4:00 pm at the Mercer Island Community & Event Center. This year’s theme, Empowering Leaders to Enrich Communities, promises to inspire and equip you with the tools and knowledge to elevate yours and your Rotary club’s experience.

Act now! Registrations quickly filled up during January and this is your second chance to secure your spot. If you haven’t registered yet, sign up immediately as we expect to reach capacity.

At the symposium, you will have the opportunity to engage with thought leaders, participate in dynamic breakout sessions, and connect with like-minded Rotarians who share your passion for service and leadership.

Important Registration Notes:

1. Program: Attached to this email is an updated copy of the event pre-flight program with sessions listed. Read this first to get an idea of which breakout sessions you may want to attend and to help facilitate your registration. You can change these later, but this just gives us an idea for room set up.
2. Registration: Individuals must register on their own; your Rotary club will not register for you. There is no registration cost for the Symposium, and it is free to Rotary members.
3. Secure Your Spot: Register early to secure your spot, as we have a capacity cap due to facility constraints. Our 2024 event filled up quickly.
4. Required Grants Training: Please note that this Symposium will also be where the required annual Global Grants and Districts training will be provided. If your club intends to apply for global or district grants in the Rotary Year 2025-2026, at least two individuals per club must attend the grants training.
5. Meals: A continental breakfast will be provided, but lunch will be on your own with food trucks available with food for purchase, or you can opt to bring your own lunch.
6. Volunteering: There is a volunteer section on the form, and we kindly ask for your support to help on the day of the event.
7. Registration Timeline: Registration will close on April 13, 2025. We must do this to allow sufficient time to prepare name badges and confirm quantities of food and beverages.

What To Expect After Registering

1. Confirmation: Once you register online, you will be sent confirmation via calendar invite from tom@leonidasconsulting.com.
2. Future Emails: Rotarians in District 5030 will continue to receive emails to register with any updated information. If you have registered, you can safely ignore the emails, and you do not need to re-register.
3. Know Before You Go: Approximately three days prior to the event, you will receive a ‘Know Before You Go’ email as a reminder and with important information.

We look forward to seeing you at the symposium and working together to strengthen our clubs and the Rotary Foundation. If you have any questions, please reach out directly to me.
