RISE TOGETHER:
Building a Legacy of Strength
May 15–16, 2026 • Madison, Alabama
Thank you for joining us at an unforgettable weekend of inspiration, connection, and celebration at the RISE TOGETHER: Building a Legacy of Strength Annual Conference, May 15–16, 2026, at the Madison Church of Christ in Madison, Alabama.
This signature District 77 event brought together Toastmasters from across districts—leaders, learners, and visionaries united by a shared passion for communication, leadership, and personal growth.
The weekend kicked off with an engaging presentation by our guest Forrest Tuff, DTM, AS. A lively networking experience at the host hotel fostered new connections and lasting friendships. We immersed ourselves in dynamic, high-impact workshops that elevated both our professional presence and personal confidence. And we experienced excitement as we crowned the District 77 Humorous Speech Champion and witnessed the power of storytelling during the International Speech Contest, where the winner advanced to the International Speech Quarter-Finals.
We concluded the conference with a beautiful gala dinner, powerful keynote address by Forrest Tuff, DTM, AS, and the induction of next year’s District Officers along with the traditional DTM Walk. All of which left us energized, inspired, and ready to lead with purpose.
RISE with us. Grow with us. Celebrate with us.
Be part of the legacy – join the RISE TOGETHER experience.
