2026 International Convention

IC 2026 will now take place in Penang, Malaysia, on 10–13 September 2026, bringing an exciting new setting to the Convention originally planned for Dubai.

Get ready to gather in George Town, Penang, for a convention centred on connection, shared experience, and the spirit of the YMI Festival of Dreams.

Join us for four memorable days as YMI members and friends from around the world come together to exchange ideas, strengthen friendships, and share the stories that shape our movement. The YMI Festival of Dreams will offer engaging keynote sessions, interactive workshops, cultural experiences, and moments that bring people closer together.

Set within the UNESCO World Heritage city of George Town, the convention extends beyond the programme itself. Penang’s rich mix of cultures, traditions, and daily life creates a natural setting for conversation, discovery, and connection. From heritage streets and local cuisine to vibrant public spaces, the city invites you to be part of something both meaningful and memorable.

Whether you are travelling alone, with friends, or with family, Penang offers a welcoming and inspiring backdrop for this global gathering.

Come together, share your experiences, and take part in shaping what comes next for our global community. See you in Penang.
