I’m going to the Denver one. Anyone else? 😊

 

Seattle was host of IC in 2014. We were tied in with them to share some of the special talks but weren't involved in festivities. They are hosts again in 2027.. In general, United States are not invited to the US conventions.

 

So close, and yet so far 😭

As I already mentioned to @Terk, that’s not the correct dates!  unless they’re having the convention on Tuesday…

Yes, that’s true for all branches I guess. You can’t be a delegate if you are from the same country. This year my area was tied-in to the IC in Warsaw but we were not invited to be volunteers. The only time I had a chance to help as a volunteer was in 2006 but the IC was closer, in Poznań (3 hour drive as opposed to 7 hour drive to Warsaw).

I looked at jw.hub tonight and we can fill out an application to volunteer for Brisbane convention.

We're applying for Peru. My family is very excited.

Do we have two IC 2027 threads or am I just seeing things?
