Bring AIC to your group
AIC brings education, advocacy training, and firsthand speakers to synagogues, schools, and community organizations across metro Atlanta. We welcome the opportunity to collaborate.
What to know before you come.
It depends on the event. Some are free and open to the community; others are ticketed — often when the evening doubles as a fundraiser for a specific cause. Each event’s page shows whether there’s a ticket or a suggested gift, along with how to register.
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.
You get the details when you register: the venue for an in-person event, or the Zoom link for a virtual one, arrives in your confirmation.
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.
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 on Zoom, some are in person in metro Atlanta, and a few are missions or delegations. Each event’s page tells you which.
Often, yes. Many past briefings and speaker evenings are recorded and free to watch, with recaps where we have them.
