Hosting a Conference

Round Square Member schools are encouraged to not only attend conferences and events but to host them as well.

This is a great opportunity to raise the profile of your school and country and to offer your students an immersive leadership challenge. Organising a conference or event unites your entire school community and raises moral and pride both within the school and beyond.

With delegates attending from around the globe to experience unique experiences they become advocates for the theme chosen by your school.

Types of events:

The Round Square International Conference

The Round Square International Conference (RSIC) is the key event occurring every year between mid September and mid October where a delegation from all Round Square Schools are invited. This conference is typically 6-7 days long, for students aged 16 to 18 years and open to the whole network. Every year the RSIC is hosted by a different Round Square region, on rotation. Any school wanting to be considered for hosting the RSIC must contact Round Square directly.
