D54 2026 Conference

Join us for the final District 54 conference, a celebration honoring our accomplishments while igniting fresh energy for the future. "Legacy Forward" brings together Toastmasters from across the district for a day of inspiring keynote speakers, educational sessions, spirited speech contests, and networking as we prepare to launch TWO new districts.

Whether you’re competing, learning, leading, or supporting our district and it's members, this is your chance to reflect on how far we’ve come and fuel the next chapter of growth.

Register now to secure your spot, share your story onstage or in breakout sessions, and be part of the momentum that carries our community forward. Don’t miss the farewell moments, the exciting new beginnings, and the connections defining what comes next.

Additional information will be coming soon concerning conference agenda, speaker details, workshop information, speech contests and much more!
