The International Organization of Youth (IOY) is promoting the 15th International Youth Conference (IYC15), scheduled for May 20–23, 2027, in Los Angeles, California, USA.

The conference is intended for young people and other participants interested in youth leadership, diplomacy, sustainable development and international cooperation. It is expected to follow a hybrid format, allowing participation both in person and virtually.
