Hey, y’all! It’s Jordan and Sydney, coming to you live from the IC 2024 HQ in Orlando, Florida! We hope you share in our excitement as we anticipate the arrival of thousands of brothers, sisters, and siblings Alephs and BBGs from across 40 countries. Opening ceremonies are just TWO days away, and we can’t wait to kick off our Centennial IC together with a bang!

We couldn’t be more excited for you to experience everything #AZABBGIC2024 has to offer! From hundreds of hours of programming built by teens from around the world to world-class speakers and educators, this weekend promises to be a blast. From our centennial block party and concert to the Islands of Adventure at Universal, we know this IC will be the biggest and best our Movement has ever seen! Our amazing friends from North Florida Region, Miami Region, and Gold Coast Region are currently hosting hundreds of Global Ambassadors as the IC Leadership Team works efficiently during Advance Week for an incredible convention, and we can’t wait for you to join us so soon. 

We know you’re ecstatic for the incredible lineup of speakers, performers, and special guests we’re welcoming to convention, and just in case you haven’t yet, check out the full IC 2024 schedule! Across the board, the stellar speakers and energizing artists joining us will surely make your IC experience extraordinary.

Countless Alephs and BBGs from all corners of this incredible Movement have worked for hours to make this convention nothing short of unforgettable. 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! 

Make sure that you’re keeping an eye on the IC app and around the convention space for cool pop-ups and surprises—we promise not to disappoint!

Get packing AZA and BBG (here’s the IC Spirit Guide again), and keep following along if you’re joining us from home… this weekend is like nothing you’ve ever seen. We’re welcoming thousands of teen leaders, thought leaders, activists, performers, and more to O-Town and the Sunshine State, so get ready for the best of Orlando and BBYO. 

IC is almost upon us, so join us as we celebrate 100 years of BBYO, reflect on our history, and most of all, remain Forever Young
