About this Event
Presented by Muslim Leadership Alliance [MLA]
2026 Muslim Professionals & Business Owner Network series - Fall edition
Come to our upcoming gathering for Muslim professionals/entrepreneurs/ community builders + anyone who wants real community - not just more contacts.
A lot of us feel it - we’re talented, driven, and care about the Ummah… but finding the right people to collaborate with still feels way harder than it should.
This night is about changing that by creating a consistent space to meet faith-driven people, spotlight the work happening in our community, and leave with relationships that actually move forward.
1) Guest Panel
This panel will have experts discussing the topic:
How should the Muslim community spend its money to ensure long term success.
Panelist will include experts from diverse skill background including non-profit leadership, advocacy, and Islamic higher learning.
2) Icebreaker activity (guided)
No awkward “so what do you do?” loops. We’ll use a short, structured activity to help you meet people fast and find common ground.
3) Open Networking
Plenty of time to connect 1:1, exchange info, and set follow-ups.
Who this is for
- Professionals across any industry (early-career to senior)
- Founders, builders, creatives, operators
- Anyone who values faith, excellence, and community impact — and wants a place to meet others doing the same
- Business owners and investors who want to connect with thier community
- People who want to meet new people in a thought-out atmosphere
- All are welcome [don't have to be business oriented]
What you’ll leave with
- New relationships (not just new followers)
- Potential collaborators + mentors + referrals
- A pulse on what initiatives and projects exist in the community
Come as you are. Bring your curiosity.
We host events frequently throughout the year.
