Rotary World Peace Conference 2016!  If you have never attended a large conference hosted by Rotary because they seem to be in far off places, now is your chance to participate close to home.  The conference will be held at the Convention Center, Ontario, California, USA.  The Conference will be all about "Connecting Leaders and Conflict Resolution Experts With the Solutions to Create a Culture of Peace."  For more information or to register go to www.peaceconference2016.org
 
The mission of the Rotary World Peace Conference 2016 is to bring together experts with solutions
[blueprints for success) to major issues that are occurring in our personal lives, homes, schools,
businesses and communities, not just in Southern California, but around the world. We are inviting
leaders from health care, academia, government, public safety, religions, business, and communities to
meet together to share the solutions presented by experts. The format will allow for action plans to be
developed such that real and measureable actions can be undertaken when attendees return home.

The conference will provide thirteen training tracks that will be occurring simultaneously. These tracks
will present solutions to resolve and prevent conflict. The tracks are Personal Life/Home, School,
Community,,Workplace,International, Peace Fellows, Civil Rights, Diplomacy/War, Religion,
Television/Film/Social Media, Sustainability, lnternational Trade, Economic Development, and Rotary
Creating Peaceful Relationships. Solutions that are already working for issues such as unemployment,
extreme poverty, child abuse, homelessness, suicide, bullying cyber-bullying, gang violence, human
trafficking sexual harassment, PTSD, genocide, development aid, diversity, global espionage and
instability of world trade, as well as many others, will be presented.
The format will be a combination of presentations with Q&A, panel discussions and facilitated sessions in
order to develop goals and action plans for the future. As a way to assess the effectiveness of the
conference, we will benchmark each of these areas in advance and track the results. Our connections and
networking are critical to the success of this conference. Attendees will leave with proven blueprints that
may be successfully applied to their areas of concern in solving the major issues.

At the end of each track leaders and experts will develop goals and action plans for implementation of
working solutions to conflict prevention and resolution. A program of small grants and micro-loans to
stimulate solution applications will be employed, if fundraising and attendance reach the budgeted goals.
Those in attendance may apply for these loans/grants to initiate new projects or expand projects into
new areas.

An electronic networking structure will be established for the sharing of ideas and measurable progress
among attendees. This may be through our existing website, or an on-line blog that would update the
website. www.peaceconference2016.org
