Frequently Asked Questions

Can You Share a Little About IC and What Takes Place?

BBYO International Convention (IC) represents the largest annual gathering of Jewish teen leaders worldwide. This trailblazing event provides an impactful stage for thousands of teens to champion democracy, engage in crucial dialogues on combating antisemitism and hate, and fuel their enthusiasm for making a difference in their communities and the world around them. Throughout the action-packed, five-day convention, participants hear from and meet with inspiring speakers, strengthen their leadership skills, serve the local community, participate in powerful learning sessions, enjoy exclusive music performances, and do their part to strengthen the Jewish future.

Where Can I Stay Up to Date on News About IC?

The IC website will be updated regularly with information about program announcements and details you will need to know. You can also follow along on BBYO’s social media channels, including Instagram, Facebook, and X using the hashtag #AZABBGIC2025.

What is the Recommended Attire for IC?

IC is a casual conference—generally, casual clothing like jeans are appropriate. Many speakers also wear brand swag/shirts that represent their workplace to convention. If you prefer to dress a step up for your presentation/workshop/session, you are welcome to do so, but it is not required. The one exception is Friday Night Shabbat Dinner where attire should be nicer than typical casual clothes. Slacks and khakis, polo shirts, a button-down shirt, skirts, blouses, or dresses are appropriate for all.

Please note, IC 2025 guests are required to wear their credentials at all times while onsite at convention.

What Should I Pack?

  • A winter coat or jacket—Denver can get cold!

  • Friday Night Shabbat dinner outfit—slacks and khakis, polo shirts, a button-down shirt, skirts, blouses, or dresses are appropriate for all.

  • Brand swag, apparel, or information (stickers, information on upcoming events, ways to get involved, etc.)

  • Business cards

Where Do Speakers and Guests Stay?

All guests will be staying at a hotel in the Denver area. For security purposes, we do not release hotel information until closer to convention.

If the Session I’m Speaking at is Offsite, How Do I Get There?

While most International Convention programming is onsite, we do venture into the Denver area for our 40+ LEADS Day tracks. As we approach convention we’ll be in touch with details on transportation to/from your LEADS tracks. For guests from out of town, we will either provide space on one of our shuttle buses or Uber/Lyft codes to get you to the location.
