The BBNAC'23 is a celebration of Buganda culture and heritage while experiencing one of America’s most electrifying cities in America. This year's theme is "The Challenge of Adequate Clean Water in Buganda and Finding Solutions" (Okusoomoozebwa kw’ebbula ly’Amazzi Amayonjo mu Buganda n’Okutema Empenda Okukwaŋŋanga).

According to the BBNAC official page, "This theme is an opportunity for us to discuss important issues pertinent to the continued building and strengthening of Buganda Kingdom, such as ensuring that all Ssaabasajja Kabaka’s subjects have access to adequate clean water for sustainable livelihoods."

The convention will offer a platform to engage children, youth and young adults about issues affecting them, as well as to discuss social and economic issues of their well-being in the diaspora, and back home in Uganda.

Tickets for the convention are being sold in three parts. A boat cruise going for $175, a hotel room reservation at Hyatt Regency Lake Washington, and a hotel room reservation at the Hampton Inn and Suites Seattle/Renton.
