IFC Harvard

The Islamic Finance Conference at Harvard community, in your pocket.

The Islamic Finance Conference at Harvard has convened the world's leading voices in values-driven finance since 1997. This is its app — the standing home for the people that nearly three decades of gatherings have brought together.

Scholars, regulators, founders, investors, executives and students working on principled capital, in one directory that does not reset when a conference ends.

THE COMMUNITY Every member, searchable by name, organisation, role or what they do. Profiles show what someone works on and what they are looking for, so a conversation starts with a reason rather than a business card.

INTRODUCTIONS WORTH MAKING Tell the app what you do and what you are hoping to find. It surfaces the members worth your time — the scholar whose paper you have been reading, the investor in your asset class, the founder who has already solved your problem — rather than leaving you to scroll.

MESSAGING Message any member directly. Conversations stay in one inbox with unread counts, so the follow-up you promised in a hallway in Cambridge does not get lost in November.

GATHERINGS Every event the Conference runs, with its full programme and speakers. Your ticket lives in the app as a QR code, ready to scan at the door, and marks itself checked in once you arrive.

The next gathering is 25–26 September 2026 at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts: Global Finance in Transition — Stability, Pluralism, and the Role of Islamic Finance.

WHO IS ACTUALLY IN THE ROOM Check in at a venue and other members can see you are there. When two of you agree to meet, the app shows roughly how far apart you are until you find each other. Location is used only while that screen is open, never in the background.

WHAT THE COMMUNITY WORKS ON Global finance and Muslim professionals. Financial innovation and digital transformation. Ethics, values and faith-inspired finance. Venturing, impact and ethical capital. Islamic finance in a global marketplace. And the generational question of what comes next.

SAFETY AND CONTROL Block any member from a conversation, report a conversation to the organisers, and delete your account and everything in it from inside the app at any time.

Access opens when you register for the Islamic Finance Conference at Harvard. Your profile, your connections and your conversations stay with you afterwards — and are waiting when you come back.
