ISLC 2025
Four hundred changemakers, six days of action, one cause: Get ready to make an impact at our International Student Leadership Conference.
2025 Theme
This year, we were inspired by the North Star and its legacy of guiding travelers safely to their destination. It’s come to symbolize the values you hold and the path you take.
We hope attending ISLC 2025 will help you find your own North Star — as well as a constellation of friends to help you along the way.
Meet Our Presenting Sponsor
We’re proud to announce that for the fifth year, Align Technology, Inc., a leading global medical device company that designs, manufactures, and sells the Invisalign® System of clear aligners, iTero™ intraoral scanners, and exocad™ CAD/CAM software for digital orthodontics and restorative dentistry, is the presenting sponsor of Operation Smile’s International Student Leadership Conference (ISLC).
In addition to supporting the conference overall, Align’s sponsorship will offer full scholarships to attend the ISLC conference to more than 100 students born with cleft conditions as well as students who are facing financial barriers in countries where Operation Smile works.
Since ISLC 2022, Align has provided more than 130 scholarships to attend ISLC for Operation Smile volunteers from the organization’s program countries as well as ambassadors from Operation Smile’s Cleft Connect community.
