MUSCAT: Muscat is preparing to host the much-anticipated District Toastmasters Annual Conference (DTAC) on May 10 and 11. This event, after 4 years, is set to bring together members from Oman, Jordan, UAE, and Palestine (District 105) - uniting them under the common goal of developing their speaking skills and leadership abilities.
With a turnout of more than 400 attendees expected from these four countries, the theme of the conference was aptly named 'Together we shine'.
At a press conference, Girish Kumar, Chairman of the Organising Committee says, 'The theme symbolises the unity and collaboration among individuals dedicated to improving themselves and others through effective communication and leadership.'
The conference will cater to a diverse audience, including youth, professionals and enthusiasts looking to enhance their public speaking prowess. It promises a range of activities such as workshops, contests and an awarding ceremony to recognise outstanding achievements in communication and leadership of each district.
One of the highlights of the event is the presence of the esteemed Guest of Honour, Eng Salim al Aufi, Minister of Energy and Minerals. His support underscores the significance of the conference in promoting personal development and fostering a culture of effective communication in the region.
Throughout the conference, participants will engage in various activities aimed at honing their speaking skills, building confidence and cultivating leadership qualities. Workshops will also be conducted by seasoned speakers who will provide valuable insights and practical tips, while contests will challenge participants to showcase their speaking prowess in a competitive environment.
Dr Saleh al Khamyasi, Vice-Chairman of the Organising Committee, says 'As the event unfolds, the byproduct of promoting Oman and nurturing the skills of the youth will become increasingly apparent. Participants will not only gain valuable knowledge and experience but also contribute to the growth and development of their communities.' Toastmasters International, a non-profit educational organisation, stood at the forefront of this transformative event, offering a supportive platform for individuals to practice and refine their communication skills. Through a network of clubs that spanned the globe, Toastmasters empowered its members to overcome their fears, express themselves confidently, and inspire others through the power of words.
The District Toastmasters Annual Conference is not just a gathering of individuals seeking personal growth; it is a celebration of unity, learning, and empowerment.
