At the District 91 Conference: Root to Rise, the International Speech Contest final and Evaluation Speech Contest final will see seven Division champions step onto one stage to compete for the District title.
Whether you’re here to compete, learn or simply to be inspired – this is the event that will energise you, elevate your speaking and stay with you long after the applause fades.
This is not just a contest, it’s a showdown of the District’s most dynamic speakers. After conquering multiple rounds, the finalists arrive ready to deliver speeches that will inspire, ignite and leave you on the edge of your seat.
Expect laughter, goosebumps and moments that hit you right in the heart. These are stories that spark ideas, challenge perspectives and remind you of the incredible power of communication.
Feel the energy. Hear the stories. Experience the magic on Saturday as one speaker takes the next step toward the World Championship of Public Speaking.
After advancing through Club, Area and Division rounds, the District’s top evaluators are ready to take the stage for the Evaluation Speech Contest Final.
On Sunday, this contest is a true test of leadership in action – the ability to listen deeply, think critically and deliver insightful, constructive feedback with clarity and empathy, all under pressure.
Winning at this level is more than earning a trophy. It represents mastery of one of the most powerful communication skills: helping others grow.
Be there to witness precision, presence and powerful analysis in real time.
