Get Ready for the 34th International Mayors Conference!

The American Jewish Congress, in partnership with the Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the American Council for World Jewry, is proud to relaunch the prestigious and long-standing International Mayors Conference, a unique summit of innovation and diplomacy.

For decades, this flagship gathering has brought senior mayors and municipal leaders from across the globe to Israel for a high-level delegation. Participants explore how the world’s most advanced technologies can reshape the future of their cities and countries, engage directly with top political and business leaders, and build lasting relationships with local and international counterparts.

Past participants include heads of state, cabinet ministers, and pioneering mayors who have gone on to transform their nations.

This year, we are proud to unveil the 2025 edition of the conference, taking place in November under the transformative theme: “AI: Empowering the Cities of Tomorrow.”

As artificial intelligence revolutionizes everything from transportation and energy to public safety and governance, mayors from around the world will gather in Israel to see how Israeli startups, municipalities, and research institutions are shaping the next generation of urban life.

This is an exclusive, invitation-only conference.

November 16-20, 2025
