Alhamdulillah!
By the grace and mercy of Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, the 35th Annual ICNA-MAS Convention held on the Memorial Day Weekend in Hartford, CT, hosted over 13,000 attendees. With "Save Family, Save Society" as its theme, the 3 day-long conference touched upon topics related to family life such as marriage, parenting, divorce, family counseling, and also featured talks on social services and spiritual self-development. Workshops, lectures, and panel discussions featuring renowned speakers provided practical tips on enhancing our lives through Islam.
We are truly grateful to Allah (SWT) for ICNA-MAS 2010's success and thank the community for its relentless support. Some highlights unique to this year included:
- - A live webcast of the main hall and Youth Conference sessions that attracted about 4000 online attendees
- - A completely sold out bazaar
- - Sold out hotels within a 5 mile radius of the Connecticut Convention Center
- - Nearly 100 sessions (workshops, lectures, discussions) that catered to participants of all ages
- - 2 full days of children theme park style rides and entertainment
May Allah [SWT] bless all the convention delegates, speakers, volunteers and sponsors for offering their time and talent to ICNA, Ameen. We would like to extend special thanks to the Connecticut Convention Center, the Hartford Visitors Bureau and their respective staff members for welcoming and hosting ICNA-MAS.
