Registration Policy for the 2026 TriCon Conference

Thank you for your interest in the 2026 TriCon Conference. We understand that some attendees may have questions about our registration structure—specifically, why meals are included and why an à la carte option is not available.

Our bundled registration model is designed to create a more inclusive, enjoyable, and seamless experience for all participants. Here's why we've chosen this approach:

• Enhancing Fellowship and Connection  Meals are not just about food—they're a vital part of the Rotary experience. Shared meals provide valuable opportunities for networking, collaboration, and building lasting friendships across clubs and districts. By including meals for all attendees, we ensure everyone has equal access to these important moments of connection.
• Simplifying Logistics  A bundled registration allows us to streamline planning, reduce administrative complexity, and better accommodate venue and catering commitments. This helps us provide a smoother experience for all while keeping costs predictable and fair.
• Supporting High-Quality Programming  Your registration fee directly supports the quality of the overall event, including keynote speakers, workshops, and venue amenities. Offering meals as part of the package ensures we can deliver a well-rounded and engaging conference without hidden costs.
• Creating a Sense of Community  When everyone shares the same experience—including meals—it reinforces the spirit of unity that makes Rotary so special. It eliminates social barriers and invites more inclusive participation.

We appreciate your understanding and look forward to welcoming you to a memorable TriCon filled with learning, inspiration, and Rotary fellowship at its best.
