DTACs have been an event where you learn a lot at the same time enjoy yourself immensely, meeting and interacting with people with a common agenda.

It was 2009 DTAC Abu Dhabi got me excited and ever since had been attending DTACs. its the rich experience of meeting people, learning and whole experience makes it worthwhile.

Leadership is all about, how to Influence and Inspire others. Toastmasters influences us and we as Toastmasters inspire others more. The pinnacle of this excitement can be best experienced at DTAC arenas. This is 4th DTAC participation for me. Let us Connect to Communicate with style.

This year, as it is certain that one of our contestants will go to the world championship semifinals, I expect the contests to be more serious and thought-provoking. May the best candidate win!!

I attended my first DTAC in 2015 when it took place in Dubai. Since then, it has been a must-attend event in my annual toastmasters calendar. I’m super excited. Can’t wait…

Surya Narayanan K. Awards Committee Chair - Div B (District 116P)

There are two kinds of events: One you forget by time and other sticks in your memory, forces you to wait for it and makes you emotionally attached to it. DTAC is, definitely, type two.
