Additional speakers will include: Miriam Peretz, Israel Prize Winner; Ayelet Shaked, Israel’s Minister of Justice; Isaac Herzog, Chairman of the Executive Jewish Agency for Israel; and Robbi and Stuart Force, activists and parents of Taylor Force. The IAC National Conference is the largest forum of its kind and offers participants the opportunity to engage in a variety of programs, plenaries, breakout sessions, interactive workshops, and facilitated discussions tailored to meet the various interests of community members and audience.
This inspiring gathering will tackle some of the most pressing issues of our time, bring together the Israeli-American and Jewish communities for deep dive discussions, and will yield takeaways that will help strengthen Israel and our communities.
The Conference spans from Thursday, November 29, to Sunday, December 2, 2018 and includes: opening plenary + evening sessions and celebrations (Thursday evening) - Friday sessions (Friday, all day) - Shishi Israeli (Friday evening, communal Shabbat dinner) - Saturday sessions (Saturday, all day) - main night and after party (Saturday evening) - Sunday session and closing event (Sunday, until 1:30pm).
