CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

Deadline: 20 December 2010

The annual convening of the World Congress of Muslim Philanthropists is widely recognized as the premier forum on Muslim Philanthropy worldwide. The event welcomes philanthropists, social investors, grant-makers, government and business leaders, visionaries, social entrepreneurs and civil society executives to a solicitation-free collaborative environment.

The 4th World Congress will lead a dialogue around the potential roadmap for Muslim Philanthropy in the next decade. This discussion will be enriched by the collective wisdom and experience of leading philanthropists and intellectuals from around the world.

While high-level plenary and panel discussions take place on day-1, interactive roundtables will be organized on day-2 around four major themes: global hunger, gender equality, social entrepreneurship, and science, technology & innovation (STI). For social investors, the conference will also showcase innovative philanthropic models selected by jury.

Proposals are invited in the following categories:

• Podium Presentations (12 minutes) regarding the conference theme
• Roundtable Presentations (10 minutes)
• Trendsetters: Showcasing of innovative, cutting-edge experimental work.

In order to make conference a quality learning experience, submissions that offer new content, contributes to the diversity of the conference, and pertinent to the theme will be given priority. Submissions, which simply describe an organization’s mission and work, will not be accommodated. Product or service oriented presentations will not be considered either.

All proposals must be submitted electronically through a dedicated link provided at the official website http://www.thewcmp.org/ or click the link here http://www.thewcmp.org/coeps.asp.
