Let's come together in binghamton

We hope all members of the future CNY Rotary districts have planned to join us for our joint conference April 26-28, 2024 at the DoubleTree in Binghamton, NY. Dynamic speakers, breakouts that will inspire action, and a lot of fellowship will make it a worthwhile way to spend a weekend immersed in Rotary. We will celebrate our clubs, learn about new ways to serve, better understand our impact around the world, and look to the future of our region.
