At the annual BOBA-USA convention, everyone rushed to reconnect. Jenny spotted her one-time classmate and immediately launched into a story about her latest project. Nearby, Olivia debated pitching her startup to a former classmate turned investor. As the evening wore on, the networking felt less like business and more like a reunion. Laughter echoed over shared memories, inside jokes resurfaced, and by the end, everyone left with new contacts, but most importantly, new friendships rekindled. The connections weren’t just professional—they were personal, weaving a web of memories and opportunities to last a lifetime.

The President General has officially confirmed his international travel to attend the 2026 BOBA-USA National Convention in Dallas, marking another significant milestone for this year's gathering. His presence underscores the importance of the convention and reaffirms his unwavering commitment to the BOBA-USA community.

Delegates from across the United States and around the world are making strategic plans to attend, reconnect, and engage in meaningful conversations that will help shape the future of our association. The convention will provide a unique platform for networking, collaboration, and the exchange of innovative ideas among members. It will also serve as an opportunity to strengthen existing relationships, build new partnerships, and celebrate our shared heritage and achievements.

With strong participation expected from both national and international delegates, the 2026 Convention promises to be one of the most impactful gatherings in BOBA-USA history. We encourage all members to finalize their travel plans and join us in Dallas for an unforgettable experience as we collectively chart the path forward for our association.
