The District 109 winter event takes places in Lugano this year. Wondering why we have spelled it winTIr? Well, Lugano is in the Swiss canton of Lugano, and all vehicle number plates start with TI.
The main event is on Saturday 22 November 2025 at the LUGANODANTE Boutique & Lifestyle Hotel (informal activities will be offered as part of the programme on Friday 21st, and Sunday 23rd).
You can reach the lovely LUGANODANTE Boutique & Lifestyle Hotel in 1-minute by funicular or a 5 to 10-minute walk.
The 2025 World Champion of Public Speaking, Sabyasachi Sengupta (Saby) will be on stage with us to present a keynote workshop.
Other workshops will be confirmed in the next few days.
Registrations will open in the next week (we’re awaiting final confirmation of a few items). In the meantime if you want to book accommodation
