Two new sharing sessions at the Global Islamic Economy Summit

At the fourth Global Islamic Economy Summit (GIES 2018), there will be two sessions where those with disruptive ideas can share them. For the Wild Idea session, anyone can share practical, implementable ideas that would change mindsets for the better.

Attendees will hear from people with:

• An idea that could change the way the audience look at an issue
• Wisdom or insight that is unique or profound
• An ability to emotionally resonate with the audience
• An alternative approach to thinking about an issue

At the 10X session, the floor will be given to people with transformative and disruptive ideas that push the Islamic economy 10X ahead – this could be in terms of efficiency, perception, credibility, sustainability, or profitability. They will also have clear, action-oriented plans for their proposals.

The sixth annual Islamic Economy Award (IEA 2018) will take place on 30 October as part of GIES. Launched in 2013 under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, VP and PM of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, the Islamic Economy Award recognises innovative world-class business initiatives and ideas that have contributed to the social and economic welfare of the Muslim population.

There are eight award categories as well as a Lifetime Achievement Award to be presented to a business leader who has demonstrated inspired leadership and has had a significant impact on the Islamic economic landscape.
