15+ speakers and performers! From Doctors, scholars, academics to singers and stand-up comedians! Keep scrolling down for details.
Theme - "Dunya" - Talks to inspire and find actionable steps to use our #Dunya for #Akhira: how we can improve as individuals and as a community. Our speakers will address some of the challenges we currently face right here in Australia. The wide range of topics include: Education, Substance Abuse, Homeschooling, Current Affairs, Time Management, Empowering ourselves and the youth, Taboo topics (Sex Education & Pornography) and a LOT more. Marriage Workshop - Prepare for the marriage, not for the wedding. Dr. Edris Khamissa, South Africa's most renowned marriage, parenting and human potential counsellor. Edris Khamissa will help you get smarter about your emotions and harmonise relationships with those around you, in shaa Allah.
FIFA Playstation Tournament - Partnership with Islamic Youth Organisation to bring to the conference a FIFA PlayStation tournament for kids aged 10 and above! (On-the-day entry fee: under 14; $5, 14+; $10)
Being ME - 6 hours of Muslimah Empowered Sisters only sessions
Bazaar - More than 40 businesses with stalls at the conference. Think shopping. ALL your Hijab, clothing, books, gifts, arts and more under one roof. Little Explorers' World - People think this is a child minding service, but it's way more than that. For kids aged 5 to 9, this is a workshop with organised, fun activities including witty games and exciting science experiments. That will keep the kids entertained all day and asleep all night, in shaa Allah.
Reptile Show - We're also sneaking in a reptile show for the kids (and adults?). Not necessarily related to "The Awakening" but everyone loves the reptiles so why not! Mum's Retreat - A private area for mothers with babies to relax and enjoy the conference via live video & audio feeds. Madinah Speakers Lounge - A public lounge area for you to hang out with your favourite speakers! Get to know them more, have questions clarified and benefit during this weekend.
