Preparing Youth for Global Challenges
For over a decade, the International Youth Conference (IYC) has been a vibrant confluence of young minds, global thinkers, and visionary leaders, consistently striving to empower youth through knowledge, dialogue, and innovation. Since its inception in 2014, the conference has grown into a prestigious international platform, nurturing leadership, shaping perspectives, and addressing pressing issues affecting the youth and the’ future of nations. Over the years, themes have evolved- from harnessing India’s demographic dividend to reimagining leadership in a connected world-reflecting global youth’s dynamic aspirations and challenges.
Now, in its 13th edition, the International Youth Conference proudly returns on 20–21 February 2026 with a futuristic and transformative theme: “AI Disruption and Opportunities: Preparing Youth for Global Challenges.”
As India marches toward its centenary of independence in 2047, this edition focuses on one of the most critical global forces reshaping our world—Artificial Intelligence. While AI promises unprecedented efficiency, innovation, and scalability, it also presents ethical dilemmas, job displacements, and social disruptions. This year’s conference aims to bridge this gap by exploring how AI can be a catalyst rather than a constraint—a tool for empowerment rather than replacement.
