The 29th Annual Harvard Islamic Finance Conference brings together scholars, executives, regulators, founders, professionals, and students from across the global Islamic finance community to examine the evolving role of Islamic finance in today’s financial system.
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 stable, resilient, innovative, and inclusive global financial system.
Across two intensive days, participants will engage in conversations and working sessions addressing values-based finance, emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and blockchain, entrepreneurship, innovation, and the future of global markets.
The conference provides an opportunity to connect with scholars, executives, regulators, founders, and student fellows while engaging with the ideas and developments shaping the future of Islamic finance.
