Why this one matters
One community. Shared purpose. Stronger future.
Indian Muslims have been building in North America for generations — quietly, in separate cities, mostly without a room where all of it is in one place at one time. NAIMA CON 2026 is that room.
It is our first national public conference: a chance to celebrate a heritage of faith, scholarship and service, and to start building the relationships, institutions and leadership the next generation will inherit.
What the day holds
- Keynote addresses from scholars and community leaders
- Panels on leadership, identity, education and civic engagement
- Networking with Indian Muslim professionals from across the US and Canada
- An introduction to NAIMA’s work in North America and India
- Youth programming and a family-friendly evening
- Ways to volunteer, collaborate and build lasting partnerships
NAIMA CON is part of a bigger weekend — but you don’t need to be a member to come
The Fourth NAIMA Member Family Meet runs in Los Angeles from Friday 4 to Monday 7 September 2026, and is for NAIMA members, with its own registration and hotel package. NAIMA CON is the public conference inside that weekend — Saturday 5 September, 3:30 PM onwards, open to everyone, ticketed separately on Ummah Unite. Members attending the Family Meet should register for NAIMA CON as well.

Do I have to be a NAIMA member to attend?
No. The Members’ Family Meet over that weekend is for members, but NAIMA CON on Saturday 5 September is a public conference and everyone is welcome.

No. NAIMA CON is organised by and for Indian Muslims in North America, but everyone who supports the work is welcome in the room.
Can I bring my children?
Please do. Children under 7 attend free, 7–18 is $15, and free babysitting is available — reserve a place for it when you register so we can staff it properly.

Yes. Dinner is served during the evening program and is included with every admission ticket.
