About the convention
A convention bigger than any one district
Believed to be the first combined convention of its kind in Australia
Four Victorian Lions districts are bringing their conventions together for one weekend. That means more speakers, more workshops, more exhibitors and more celebrations than any single district convention could offer — and the chance to share it with Lions and Leos from right across the state.
01 Be inspired
Speakers and workshops that bring new ideas home to your club and your community.
02 Celebrate service
Recognition of the Lions and Leo clubs making a real difference across Victoria.
03 Find your people
Old friends, new connections and three days of fellowship, from the Murray to the Mornington Peninsula.
Leos
The next generation of service
Leos bring energy, ideas and leadership to everything they touch. They’re an important part of this convention, and Leo activities will be announced with the programme.
A milestone year
2028: a remarkable year for Victorian Lions
Tony Benbow OAM is anticipated to become only the second Australian — and the first Victorian — to serve as Lions International President.
Lions from around the world will meet in Singapore in mid-2028 for the 110th Lions Clubs International Convention, where the new International President is expected to take office. Just a few months later, Lions and Leos from across Victoria will gather at home to celebrate a year to remember.
