Division H Toastmasters from Abu Dhabi and Al Ain are proud to host this year’s District Toastmasters Annual Convention, which will be held at the Intercontinental Hotel in Abu Dhabi for the first time. More than 800 Toastmasters from the 13 Divisions and 7 countries making up District 79 are expected to attend the 21 - 23 May DTAC. The theme for DTAC 2009 is: Developing Leadership & Communication Towards Achieving Strategies.
As the DTAC 2009 agenda shows, two qualifier rounds for each contest (International, Humorous + Table Topics) will be held simultaneously on Thursday. The 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners in each of these qualifier round contests will compete in the final contest round on Friday and Saturday.
Meanwhile, 2000 World Champion of Public Speaking Ed Tate and 2001 World Champion of Public Speaking Darren LaCroix will be delivering keynote speeches and educational sessions guaranteed to energize and educate. They’ll be accompanied by professional trainer Maria Austin, who’ll deliver a stimulating interactive workshop.
Thursday’s Lite Dinner With Darren will be followed by Friday’s Gala Dinner, an entertaining event all Toastmasters look forward to.
To organize such a large event and conduct a memorable conference that exceeds participants’ expectations, Division H Toastmasters need the dedicated support and committed resources, both financial & human, of all the Toastmasters in the District.
Accordingly, when DTAC 2009 organizing committee members email or call requesting help from other Toastmasters throughout District 79, they do so because completing particular preparatory tasks urgently depends on that help. The Convention won’t be a success unless all the pieces are in place beforehand…So, please enthusiastically support DTAC 2009 organizing committee members when they contact you for assistance.
