The Board of Directors for Rotary International has tentatively selected Barcelona, Spain as the host city for our 2029 International Convention. It will run from June 2nd through 6th at the Fira de Barcelona exhibition center, offering state-of-the-art facilities, including conference rooms, auditoriums, and expansive exhibition halls. Our convention was last held in Barcelona in 2002, drawing over 16,800 registered participants from around the world. This time, up to 20,000 are expected, from over 140 countries around the world.

General sessions, plenary sessions, workshops, exhibitions of projects, and cultural and networking events seldom fill the entire day, leaving time for sightseeing. From the recently-completed towers of the Basilica de Sagrada Família to the remarkable Park Güell, there’s plenty to see in your free time. And of course, being a coastal city, there are numerous new and familiar foods to try.
