Seminar on Islamic Advertising to be held this September in Malaysia

The Department of Communication, Kulliyyah of Islamic Revealed Knowledge and Human Sciences, International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM), in collaboration with the Centre for Islamisation (CENTRIS), IIUM, is organising the International Seminar on Islamic Advertising 2014 (ISIA2014) this September.

The organisers expect the seminar to outline the issues of advertising in the Muslim world; conclude with recommendations regarding the Islamic perspective of advertising to regulatory authorities; and to lead to with a publication on advertising and Islam.

Academicians, advertisers and the advertising industry, media, and students are expected to attend.
