Access the Rules of Procedure

Distinguished Delegates,

It is with great pride and anticipation that we welcome you to the 22nd Edition of the International Youth Conference 2026, a platform built over two decades where ideas are tested, perspectives are broadened, and leadership takes shape.

​

IYC is more than a conference. It is where young leaders engage with the pressing issues of our time, exploring complex challenges, exchanging diverse perspectives, and working toward solutions that balance vision with pragmatism. Here, discussions are rooted in the realities of history, the demands of the present, and the possibilities of the future.

 

This year’s committees will take you through challenging scenarios, from navigating shifting political landscapes to confronting questions of integrity, governance, and truth. Along the way, you will negotiate, collaborate, and make decisions that test your skills as both diplomats and problem-solvers. The strength of IYC lies in its delegates, your preparation, conviction, and commitment to dialogue.

 

Welcome to the International Youth Conference 2026. May these days challenge you, inspire you, and strengthen your belief in the impact of thoughtful dialogue.

 

Neil Lewis and Virika Shah
President, IYC 2026
