The conference

Every voice starts with a story.

In 2027, District 107 comes together in Viana do Castelo for a Spring Conference built around the journey from expression to impact: finding our voice, sharing our stories and turning them into purpose.

Hosted in a city where tradition is lived every day, the weekend brings together learning, contests, connection and celebration with the warmth of Northern Portugal.

Why Viana?

Tradition isn't preserved here. It's lived.

From maritime roots to vibrant festivals, Viana do Castelo celebrates identity, expression and connection every day.

That spirit mirrors Toastmasters: people finding their voice, sharing their story and growing through meaningful human connection. In Viana, communication isn't only practiced on stage. It is felt in the streets, the culture and the people.

We are opening our home to you.
