When we gather for District Conference, the setting matters more than we sometimes realize.

Where we meet influences how we connect, reflect, and recharge together. That’s why the Rotary District Conference, coming up May 15–17, 2026, will be held in Eugene at the welcoming Valley River Inn, and is open to all District 5110 Rotarians.

Eugene offers exactly what many of us are looking for right now — a place that feels comfortable, accessible, and easy to settle into.
What makes Eugene such a great host city?

• Easy access – Whether you’re driving or flying, Eugene is simple to reach — without big-city congestion or stress.
• Walkable and convenient – Lodging, meeting spaces, and dining are all located in one relaxed footprint. No shuttles. No scrambling. Just easy flow.
• Riverfront setting – The Valley River Inn sits along the Willamette River, offering peaceful views and walking paths — perfect for conversation or a quiet reset between sessions.
• Relaxed Northwest energy – Eugene’s natural surroundings and laid-back pace create an ideal backdrop for learning, laughter, and meaningful Rotary fellowship.

This conference isn’t about rushing from room to room.

It’s about connection — coming together as Rotarians, sharing ideas, and enjoying time in a place that naturally encourages it.

More details coming soon — but for now, picture yourself there.
