Hamburg welcomes Rotary members from across the world: 2019 Rotary International Convention in Northern Germany (FOTO)

Hamburg (ots) -

Over the coming days, Hamburg/Germany will be transformed into
"Rotary City" as more than 25,000 Rotary members from around the
globe will be getting together in Hamburg from 1 to 5 June for the
annual international meeting. The event is considered to be one of
the most prestigious and international congresses worldwide and
touches the hearts not only of the Rotary community, but also that of
the host city and its residents.

The Rotary international convention is colourful, diverse, and
cosmopolitan. In keeping with the tagline "Capture the moment",
Rotary members attending the Hamburg convention will initiate
projects, engage in exchange, and work together for a better world.

"Hamburg is known as the gateway to the world, and with 25,000
people from 170 countries expected to attend our convention, Rotary
is excited to bring the world to Hamburg," said Rotary President
Barry Rassin. "We are looking forward to introducing the city to our
members from abroad and familiarizing the community with local Rotary
members who take action to make the world a better place."

In addition to the convention in the exhibition halls of
Hamburg-Messe, Rotary members will be able to also enjoy a
comprehensive supporting programme in Hamburg - including
bicycle-tours, an opening party at the Chamber of Commerce, a sailing
trip on the Alster-Lake as well as exclusive Rotary concerts in the
Elbphilharmonie, Hamburg's iconic new concert hall. Attendees of the
convention will be able to immerse themselves in a truly European
music city and experience one of the most exciting culinary hotspots
in Germany, countless maritime tourist attractions, a legendary
nightlife scene, plenty of culture, as well as vibrant startup and
media scenes.

What is more, Hamburg's locals will be able to get in touch with
the Rotary community as the organization's members will be present at
some of the city's most prominent venues, with information stands and
events providing insights into the various projects.
