How it all began
Gathering, coming together, being together, confronting each other, living in community, networking. This was the initial sense of conference activities, there was no thought of technology, computer aids, there were only people at the center of organizational activities.
In 1970 Mr. Tabb, the Rotary International meeting planner, arrived in Rome to organize the ENAEM Europe, Africa, Mediterranean, Eastern Countries Regional Conference. He asked for language and organizational support in volunteering young Rotarians.

How it all began

15,000 delegates, a challenge for Rome and all of Lazio, November 12 -15, the sun was shining! None of us had ever heard of the meeting planner. We had to deal with 50,000 overnight stays, 15,000 accreditations, 30,000 individual requests, each delegate with a different problem!
Each of us did it all, solved problems that had not been planned and found alternative solutions, collaborated with others in the group in perfect harmony, experienced new emotions, and acted with passion. EGA had been born from a group of volunteers. The real ENTERPRISE was being created!
