The old models of diplomacy are no longer enough to solve the world’s most complex challenges. It’s time for a new approach. At the 13th International Youth Conference (IYC13), we are pioneering the solution: Youth-Led Multilateralism. This is a new paradigm where young leaders don’t just ask for a seat at the table—they build a new one, convening across borders to create tangible solutions for peace and development.

Join hundreds of changemakers from around the globe for four transformative days of action. Engage in high-level dialogues with established diplomats, master practical skills in hands-on workshops on negotiation, conflict resolution, and policy advocacy, and build a global network of allies. If you are a student, activist, entrepreneur, or young professional passionate about driving real-world change, IYC13 is your platform.

Hosted by the International Organization of Youth, IYC13 will take place from May 21–24, 2026, at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Join us for a vibrant in-person experience or participate virtually from anywhere in the world.
