Attending an AIC Event

What to know before you come.

Do AIC events cost anything?

Admission to an AIC event is $18 to join online and $36 to be there in person. Israel Up Close, our talks twice a month, is $18 a talk and free for every AIC member. Some events are free to attend and ask for a gift instead, which you can give or not. If you’re in the Leadership Circle, your membership covers a set number of events each year: online ones free, in-person ones at half price. Register with the email on your membership and the price comes off on its own. That doesn’t apply to a fundraising gala. Each event’s page shows its price.

Who can come to the Author’s Table?

It’s for AIC members, and it’s free for them. It starts in November 2026. One book a month, read together and talked through live on Microsoft Teams. Each month’s book is announced the month before, so there is time to get a copy. You only buy the book.

About the book club
What is the Mitzpe Quarterly Briefing?

Four times a year, the Mitzpe Institute’s research presented live for AIC: what the analysis found and what it means for this community. It starts in Tuesday 2 March 2027. Sustaining Members and the Leadership Circle come free. Anyone else can drop in for $18, or come to all four for $54.

Do I need to register in advance?

Yes. Register or RSVP ahead of time on the event’s page. It is how we know to expect you and how we send you the details you need.

How do I find out where the event is?

You get the details when you register: the venue for an in-person event, or the Microsoft Teams link for an online one, arrives in your confirmation.

Joining an online event
Do I need a Teams account, or to download anything?

Not on a computer. Open the link from your email in Chrome or Microsoft Edge and choose to continue in the browser. You don’t need an account. On a phone or tablet you do need the Teams app, because Teams doesn’t run in a phone’s web browser. Install it, then tap the link again.

More on joining online
Is it safe to attend? What about security?

AIC takes the safety of everyone who comes seriously and arranges appropriate security for its in-person events, working with security professionals. If you have a concern before or during an event, tell a member of the AIC team.

What should I expect at an AIC event?

Most AIC events are speaker evenings and briefings: a firsthand voice or expert on Israel, time for questions, and a chance to meet others in the community. Some run online on Microsoft Teams, some are in person in metro Atlanta, and a few are missions or delegations. Each event’s page tells you which.

Can I watch an event I missed?

Often, yes. Many past briefings and speaker evenings are recorded and free to watch, with recaps where we have them.
