Each year, hundreds of AZA & BBG leaders, alumni, advisors, professional staff and top Jewish philanthropists from around the world convene on President’s Day weekend in February as the largest annual gathering of Jewish teens working to strengthen the Jewish future.
At IC, Alephs and BBGs have the unique opportunity to take part in exemplary BBYO programming such as hearing from prominent speakers, participating in large-scale service learning opportunities and celebrating an inspiring Shabbat like most have never experienced before.
In addition to showcasing spirit and community pride, IC participants take part in the democratic process of furthering the organization’s business agenda and electing AZA & BBG’s next international teen leadership. Opportunities to experience IC’s host city, engage with the host community and build lifelong global friendships are constants of every IC.
Program Highlights:
Meet new people from around the globe.
Reunite with friends from summer programs.
Effect change across BBYO by electing new leadership.
Experience the largest Shabbat in BBYO history.
Participate in programs that will change the way you think about BBYO!

Scholarships:
BBYO is committed to providing meaningful Jewish experiences to all Jewish teens and believes that no teen should be unable to participate due to a lack of funds. Scholarships are available for teens in need of assistance. In order to apply for a scholarship you must be registered for IC and pay the deposit first (If this is an issue please contact the regional office). Click here for the scholarship application (Deadline Dec. 5th).
Flights:
Teens are welcome to travel to Atlanta/Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport via the flights of your choosing. You must land by 2pm Thursday February 16th and take off after 12pm Monday February 20th. Feel free to discuss with other friends attending to coordinate your travel together (FYI – So far, I know some teens have booked Air Canada flight 8619 on Thursday and Air Canada flight 8628 on Monday). As with all international BBYO programs, flight information will be collected from all participants and BBYO staff will monitor all arrivals and meet all teens in the airport when they land (stay tuned for more details).
** Anyone attending the February Executive Conference (preceding IC and open only to Regional Presidents, I-Board and International Chairs), please note that you must arrive at Atlanta/Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport on WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 15 by 1pm (instead of Thursday by 2pm).
