Every EARC member is encouraged to register. A wide range of subjects to cover and an excellent opportunity to network with other Rotarians.

The District 5030 Learning Symposium will be held at the Mercer Island Community and Event Center from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Register for free.  Space is limited. 

We are thrilled to announce that registration is now open for the 2025 District 5030 Learning Symposium, which will take place on Saturday, April 19, 2025, 7:30 am – 4:00 pm. 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. By popular request from last year’s event, we have expanded the program and networking to a full day.

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. This is an event you won’t want to miss!

Important Registration Notes:

1. Program:  A pre-flight copy of the event 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 the 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 a couple of food trucks available with food for purchase.
6. Volunteering: There is an option to volunteer to help at the Symposium. We appreciate any support to help that you are willing to provide prior to or 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 an email notification that says your registration has been submitted. Also, make sure to check your junk mail.
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.

We look forward to seeing you at the symposium and working together to celebrate and strengthen our clubs.
