In addition to the opportunity to experience the power of IC and hear from world-renowned speakers and leaders, the IC 2025 Adult Experience will offer thought-provoking sessions both on topics of Jewish communal interest as well as personal and professional development. There is truly nothing like IC and now, adult attendees can experience the full force of a five-day festival of Jewish pride—while also growing their skills and networking with fellow alumni, supporters, and colleagues across several days of programs, workshops, and gatherings. Adults will also be able to visit landmarks across Denver on Saturday afternoon.
Members of BBYO’s Board of Directors and adult attendees traveling from outside the United States, may arrive at the IC hotel beginning on Wednesday at 2:00 PM (and no earlier). For safety and security purposes, all other adults participating in the 24-Hour Adult Experience, or the Alumni Association.
