The conference is organized by the International Islamic Marketing Association and will take place on May 14–15, 2026, in Alanya, Türkiye. ICIBR’2026 will be held in a hybrid format, offering both on-site and virtual participation options.

The International Conference on Islamic Business Research aims to bring together leading academics, researchers, scholars, industry practitioners, Shariah experts, and policymakers from around the world to exchange knowledge, present cutting-edge research, and discuss contemporary developments in Islamic business, finance, economics, and management.

The conference provides an interdisciplinary platform to explore how Islamic principles and Shariah-compliant frameworks can address modern business challenges, enhance ethical governance, promote social justice, and support sustainable economic development in both Muslim-majority and non-Muslim contexts.

A central objective of the conference is to examine the role of Islamic values such as fairness, accountability, transparency, risk-sharing, and social responsibility in shaping resilient and inclusive business models. The conference also highlights the integration of digital transformation, fintech, AI, and data analytics within Islamic business ecosystems while ensuring Shariah compliance and ethical alignment.

The audience will benefit from high-quality theoretical, empirical, and policy-oriented research addressing real-world challenges in Islamic banking, halal industries, Islamic entrepreneurship, governance, education, and public policy. Special emphasis is placed on sustainability, financial inclusion, ethical leadership, and gender equity within Islamic business practices.

In line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the conference promotes responsible economic growth, quality education, gender equality, ethical governance, and global partnerships through an Islamic business lens.
