Update
We Can't Wait to Welcome You to Dallas!
Howdy Y’all,
It’s Mia and Adam here, coming to you live from the IC 2020 HQ in Dallas! We hope you share in our excitement as we anticipate the arrival of thousands of brother Alephs and sister BBGs from across 45 countries. Opening ceremonies are just TWO days away, we can’t wait to kickoff the best International Convention yet!
We’re so hyped for y’all to see the wonders of #AZABBGIC2020 when we come together in a city that is hosting us so well. Our Texan friends are currently having so much fun on Global Ambassadors Week, an exclusive Pre-IC program for those joining us from far. They, like us, cannot wait for the next 2,800 teens (you all!) to join here so soon.
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 2020 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 the Lone Star State so buckle up, this is going to be a Convention like no other. There’s a reason we are the largest gathering of Jewish teen leaders worldwide.
With that, we’re left with just one question: are you ready to make tomorrow happen here?
Safe Travels,
Mia Buchband + Adam Weintraub
