Convention, Conversation, Connection

International Convention is a time for more than just learning and inspiration.

Every year, the Toastmasters International Convention offers a wealth of top-notch events—the stunning Opening Ceremonies, the engaging keynote speaker, the education sessions, the inspirational Golden Gavel Award recipient, and of course, the ever-popular speech contests.

But it’s often the fun, the new friends, and the sense of community that linger long after the curtain falls and the venue empties. There is the conversation in the hallway, the chat with a seatmate before a presentation, the connection made during a networking lunch, and the chance to meet people from around the world.

It’s hard to describe that excitement and energy, and sometimes pictures communicate better than words. See how members showed their Toastmasters spirit at the 2024 International Convention in Anaheim, California.
