Howdy Y’all,

It’s Aidan and Emily here, coming to you live from the IC 2019 HQ in Denver! We hope you share in our excitement as we anticipate the arrival of thousands of brother Alephs and sister BBGs from across 40 countries. Opening ceremonies is just TWO days away, we can’t wait to kickoff the biggest and best IC yet!

We’re so jazzed for y’all to see the wonders of #AZABBGIC2019 when we come together as the largest IC body the Movement has ever seen.


We know you’re ecstatic for the incredible lineup of speakers, performers, and special guests we’re welcoming to Convention, but just in case you haven’t yet, check out the IC 2019 Announcement Video! Across the board, the stellar speakers and energizing artists that are joining us are sure to make your IC experience extraordinary.

Countless Alephs and BBGs from all corners of this incredible Movement have put in hours to make this convention great. We have been partnering with them over the past few months to make IC the best it can be and, believe it or not, there are still so many surprises in store! Keep an eye on the IC app and around the convention space for cool pop-ups and surprises—we promise not to disappoint!

The AZA BBG IC Facebook group and @bbyoinsider on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat are your sources for information and updates as we get closer and closer to IC and throughout the weekend.

Get packing AZA and BBG, this weekend is like nothing the Jewish or secular world has ever seen. We’re welcoming thousands of teen leaders, thought leaders, activists, performers, and more to Denver so buckle up, this is going to be a Convention like no other.

Ready to see what we’ve put together?


We’re more than ready to welcome you to the largest gathering of Jewish teen leaders worldwide—BBYO IC 2019! Safe travels and

#OurTurn,
Aidan Jacoby and Emily Kolodney
IC 2019 Coordinators
