About the Summit
Two days, 10,000 people and one programme built around the Eight Pillars.
Faith & Future Summit 2027 brings 10,000 people to Expo Centre Karachi on 27 and 28 March for two days of keynotes, panels and workshops, led by scholars and practitioners from the UK, the US, Australia, South Africa and Pakistan. It is organised by the School of Islamic Scholars & Leaders (SISL) at Al-Kawthar University.
Every session is built around the Eight Pillars, from faith and family to economy, media and leadership, so each one ends in something you can act on at home, at work and in your community.
You leave with practical frameworks from 12 workshops, the chance of a free 1-to-1 session with a speaker or a family counsellor, and connections with people who share the same goals.
