Since 1997, the conference has convened leading scholars, industry professionals, entrepreneurs, policymakers, and students to examine the evolving role of Islamic finance in addressing the world's most pressing economic challenges.

This year's theme, "Global Finance in Transition: Stability, Pluralism, and the Role of Islamic Finance," explores how ethical and values-driven finance can contribute to a more resilient, innovative, and inclusive global financial system. Through keynote addresses, panel discussions, and interactive sessions, participants will engage with topics including the foundations of Islamic finance, the impact of emerging technologies such as AI and blockchain, entrepreneurship and innovation, ethical leadership, and the future of Islamic finance in North American and global markets.
