Birmingham’s Rotarian success – on film
Birmingham’s reputation for attracting and hosting successful events was showcased this summer when the city welcomed the Centenary Rotary International Convention, the biggest of its kind to be held in the UK for two decades. Now you can see for yourself how the city worked together to host the Convention. All the action is captured on a special film, which can be viewed here.
The convention is one of the world’s largest conventions and attracted 20,000 delegates and support staff to the city. It took place in June at the National Exhibition Centre, with concerts, markets and other events held around the city and surrounding region.
