With each passing day, the 11th JCC Global World Conference is coming to life. New speakers are being announced, participants are registering from around the world, and exciting experiences are coming together to create an inspiring global gathering in Jerusalem.
JCC professionals, lay leaders and partners from more than 25 countries have already registered or confirmed their participation, making this one of the most diverse global gatherings of the JCC movement.
Conference Spotlight: The Partnerships Gallery
One of the unique experiences at this year's conference will be the Partnerships Gallery - an interactive exhibition celebrating the ten partnerships participating in the "JCC Global - From Good to Great" program, made possible thanks to a grant from JFNA.
Each partnership will tell its story through an immersive display, showcasing the projects they created together, the relationships they built, and the lessons they learned along the way. Visitors will have the opportunity to meet the teams behind the projects, exchange ideas, and gain inspiration for collaborations in their own communities.
Featured Keynote Speaker
We are delighted to welcome Rabbi Dr. Daniel Hartman, President of the Shalom Hartman Institute, as one of our featured keynote speakers.
Rabbi Dr. Hartman is one of today's leading Jewish thinkers and educators. His keynote session will invite participants to explore some of the most important questions facing the Jewish people today.
Themed Tours: Jerusalem as a Living Laboratory
Jerusalem is more than a destination - it's a living laboratory for community-building, resilience, and social innovation.
The conference experience will include two unique sets of thematic tours, each offering a different perspective on Jerusalem's vibrant community landscape.
On Tuesday, November 17, participants in the JCC Global Partnerships Retreat and invited guests will take part in exclusive tours developed in partnership with the Jerusalem Foundation, exploring creativity, belonging, and community-building across the city.
On Thursday, November 19, all World Conference participants will choose from a selection of thematic tours developed in partnership with the Jerusalem District of the Israel Association of Community Centers, showcasing innovative initiatives focused on bridge-building, inclusion, and navigating conflict.
Stay tuned - we'll soon reveal the different tour options waiting for you.
Call for Organizations: Join the Organizations Marketplace
We're also creating an Organizations Marketplace, during a dedicated networking session on Wednesday, November 18 from 2:30-4:00 pm, where leading Jewish organizations will have the opportunity to meet conference participants, present their work, share resources, and spark new collaborations.
Whether you're looking to share your work, recruit partners, or introduce your organization to an international audience, this is a unique opportunity to connect with leaders from across the global JCC network.
If your organization would like to host a table and be part of this unique networking opportunity, we'd love to hear from you.
