Our Intent
In the summer of 2010 Islamic World International Conference, a group of youth in the Atlanta, Georgia area decided to join forces to provide a quality conference to educate the masses. Their intent was to touch the hearts and most importantly, the minds of Muslims at home and abroad, but more importantly to educate the world on the peace and love for humanity that Islam was build upon. IWIC hopes to cast a shining light on the religion of Islam to inspire and rejuvenate Muslims all over, but to also restore the apperception of Islam for those that have a miss-educated and unfounded view of the religion of Islam. IWIC is spreading hope and knowledge through its work.
Mission
The mission of the IWIC—will serve to promote the essence of the Message of the Prophet Muhammad (SAWS) by providing a platform for legitimate leadership to apply authentic, Islamic interpretations in addressing the challenges faced by humanity in the 21st century. IWIC will work to inform and educate people about the real, living Islam and create a mutual understanding between ourselves and our neighbors all over the world, thereby promoting peace and eradicating the atmosphere of Islamophobia plaguing the Western world. IWIC will work to inspire and motivate Muslims to take up the collective responsibility to use our centers of worship for providing services to alleviate ignorance, hunger, poverty, homelessness, and their consequences on marriages and families, and provide for the comprehensive welfare of our neighbors and humanity at large. IWIC will work towards building bridges of cooperation with secular, faith-based, and grassroots organizations focused on the same goals.
Vision
The IWIC vision is to shed light on the clearest understanding of Islam and present it to the world, shared by both Muslim and Non-Muslim alike.
Purpose
To provide a unique and enjoyable conference for all who attend.
To present world-renowned speakers to address the truth of Islam.
To educate and inspire, both Muslims and Non-Muslims.
To align with organizations and corporations that understands our purpose.
To build healthier, stronger more enriched communities through educational programs and events.
Islamic World International Conference

The Islamic World International Conference (IWIC) is an event created
to accomplish a two‐fold purpose. The convention will revive the Islamic spirit
for Muslims all over, but will also educate and inform non‐Muslims on the true purpose and beliefs of Islam, hence the theme, “Eradicating Islamophobia”. While this convention is an event to encourage and inspire Muslims to strengthen their faith and their understanding of Islam, it is an event that will significantly serve as an educational mechanism for those who have limited knowledge and grasp of what Islam is all about.
In these times of turmoil and struggle
for all people, there is a need for all people
to learn to respect one another and the ways of their fellow brothers and sisters. In order for us to rise up from the valleys of hate, confusion, disrespect, and greed and reach this harmony, we must be willing to be educated. The IWIC will be a major showing for those of the Muslim faith. People from all walks of life and cultures will be able to come together and immerse themselves in the positivity and peace that Islam speaks to.
Islamic World International hopes to inspire and up lift the spirit of the community, restore the strength of family, and showcase prolific rising, and current well‐known speakers and leaders in the Islamic faith., while simultaneously
creating a great opportunity for those who would like to support this transformative event as a sponsor, in order to promote their products and services.
The sponsorship opportunities are immense. With this event being held in Metro Atlanta, a thriving economic hub of the southeast with a strong Muslim presence, there should be minimal doubt of the financial gain that can result from investments made in making this event a success .
We invite and strongly encourage you
to take a look at the myriad of financial benefits of this event and that you are inspired to join us in our efforts.
