Fall Convention isn't cancelled, it's just online! Join us October 16-18 at Fall Virtual Convention to make connections with over a hundred Alephs and B'nai B'rith Girls from across the region, participate in sessions about chapter impact, community innovation, and Jewish enrichment, compete against other chapters in showcasing your ruach (spirit), and experience a fun and meaningful summer camp-style Shabbat — all from the comfort of your own home!
Fall Virtual Convention is $36 and open to all BBYO Members in Grades 8-12. Registered participants will receive home delivery of a convention swag item and participant kit, access to all programs and even a few special surprises!
Why does a virtual convention cost money? Great question! While virtual conventions are much, much cheaper than in-person conventions ($36 vs. $339 for Fall Convention last year), there are still some costs associated with it. The convention fee helps cover convention supplies, home delivery of programming materials and a swag item, plus software, guest speakers, staffing, a songleader, and more.
