Agenda

We anticipate that the PETS 2026 Agenda will be completed before January 2026. The PETS 2025 Agenda presented below is a good baseline to understand the timeline of the next event. At the event, a printed version of this agenda is provided to each paid participant.

Attendance at this training venue is defined as participating in the entire two-day event. The topics presented by our Discussion Leaders, the Districts’ Trainers, and the Keynote Speakers build upon each other. Please invest in your Rotary leadership development by setting aside Friday 8:00AM until Saturday 2:30PM. Also, consider making easier the early daily start times – include Thursday lodging if your travel time to Greensboro is greater than one hour.

Thursday, March 19

TimeActivity
7:30 PMReception for ALL Participants [Room TBD]

The Thursday evening reception is a great time to unwind. Visit with other leaders from across at least seven Rotary districts and, often, other countries. Discussion leaders and district leaders look forward to this fellowship opportunity with all our participants. Generally, our keynote speakers also attend this social event making themselves available to any conversation. Plan now to engage with your Rotary peers at this casual, cash bar event!
