2009 RI Convention in Birmingham, England,
21-24 June
Be a part of history and celebrate the 100th
Rotary convention, which will take place in
Birmingham, the heart of England!
If you haven’t been back to Birmingham since the
1984 convention, you may not recognize this
former industrial town. Now a lively canal city
known for its outstanding shopping and dining,
Birmingham — or Brum, as the natives call it —
underwent a dramatic facelift in the 1990s. The
transformation resulted in a modern, more
pedestrian-friendly city that retains traces of
its medieval and Industrial Age roots.
