UPDATE!
 
Rotary's First Virtual Convention is underway! Both General Sessions have concluded but are available to stream online.  Simply go to go to the home page of riconvention.org.  Click on the button under the General Sessions block, which will say JOIN. 
 
Breakout Sessions are underway.  If you cannot participate live, sessions will be available in 48-72 hours from time of session.  
 
For the best convention experience, use a desktop or laptop computer and the Google Chrome browser.  If you don't already have Chrome, you can download it free.  We also suggest that you make sure there are no other heavy uses of your internet connection, such as movie streaming, or game playing when you connect.  A download speed of at at least 3 Mbps is recommended (you can test your connection speed for free).
