BBYO is proud of its South African teenage delegates who attended the annual International Convention (IC) of BBYO in Dallas, Texas!
BBYO’s IC has become an unparalleled convening — offering a powerful, strategic, and inspiring platform from which the best and brightest teen and adult leaders from across the Jewish world unite to celebrate, dream, and take action to continue strengthening the future. The convention serves as the largest international gathering of Jewish teen leaders. The unique programme offers a fully immersive experience and attracts more than 5000 guests each year — including top philanthropists, celebrities, thought-leaders, business executives and more.
Notable speakers this year included Israeli politician and past Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, best-selling author and journalist Jodi Kantor, second gentleman of the USA Douglas Emhoff (husband of vice-president Kamala Harris), Olympic gold-medallist Gabby Douglas, and multiple award-winning social media personalities including Maddie Ziegler and Chris Olsen.
South African delegates represented their country with pride on this international platform. We hope to include more South African teens in our next convention experience taking place in Orlando, Florida in early 2024!
