2027 International Convention dates


Recommended Posts

Friends! My branch was invited to Marseille, France; Denver, United States; Lima, Peru; London; and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Where do you think I have the best chance of being accepted? It would be my first international assembly, and I really want to go. I’m from Mexico ❤️

I knew you would be happy. We hope you are able to volunteer...

 

Not likely based on past experience, but at least I know what countries on YouTube to look up and pretend I'm there ☺️

Do you know if I can include two options when I send in the letter?

You can select all the places where your country is invited (in descending order of preference), but you will only be selected as a delegate at one place.

Do you guys think Marseille is in really high demand? I have Denver, Marseille, Spain, Peru, and the UK, but I’m not sure which one is the least likely option.

All these dated are from S-151 Instructions for Applying to Attend an International Convention. The one in blue merely indicates this city holds an international convention for the first time. But I may be wrong.

Generally speaking The further the destination the fewer candidates will apply because it’s more expensive. For example, for Polish branch everyone who applied to Milwaukee got in but for Hamburg there were a lot who weren’t selected.
