Refresh. Recharge. Reconnect.
This Year's Vision
The 2026 D40 Conference isn't just another conference - it's a retreat. A time to step back, reconnect and reflect on what Toastmasters has meant to us as a District before we merge into something new. A time for personal and professional growth.
Instead of the usual packed schedule and formal pace, this retreat will focus on connection and renewal - giving members space to grow, share stories and recharge together. There will not be a business meeting during this conference but we will be hosting the International and Humorous Speech Competitions.
It's our final D40 conference, making it a special moment to honor our legacy, recognize our leaders, and celebrate how far we have come. This retreat-style approach ensures we leave inspired, united, and ready for the next chapter in our Toastmasters journey.
