On behalf of Reviving the Islamic Spirit (RIS) organizing committee, we would like to invite you to partake in a very special initiative. We are pleased to inform you that RIS will be launching it’s first convention in US to take place on May 29th-31st, 2010 at the prestigious Long Beach Convention Centre, Los Angeles - California.
In eight years since its inception, the annual RIS Convention has become a cornerstone of the North American Islamic community, attracting scholars and students alike from all corners of the world.
The record number of attendees for this convention has shown that this is an experience like nothing one has seen before. Its unique, single auditorium set up with no parallel or split sessions have ensured that all attendees are present to hear what we have to say. The cross section of the community this event caters to is perhaps the widest for any Muslim event.
We look forward to welcoming you to this grand launch of RIS US Convention and request your support and prayers.
It was at the metro toronto convention center; massive space for everyone to sit, and a large praying area in the indoor "souk".
You'd often hear speakers making remarks that they couldn't see the far back audience because we we're so numerous, mashAllah. They had I believe 6 jumbo screens placed in the beggining, center, and end of the room, in case you were too far back to see the speakers. Very well organized, thanks to the volunteers.
I have attended TDC(Texas Dawah Convention) few times and they way they organize is a bit different. They schedule atleast 5-6 lectures at one time. So the crowd is separated, not everyone can attend one lecture. It was beneficial the past 2 times I been there Alhamdulillah.

Then how can you avoid the punishment, if you disbelieve, on a Day that will make the children grey-headed?

And also, what should I be putting on the table? I got the Jannah Studios web hosting forms, candy (What kind should I get?), brochures, business cards, laptop/s, MAYBE a nasheed stereo...

I should have probably mentioned reasonably priced. We won't be giving iphones and ipads to everyone that comes to take a brochure, either.
I was thinking something that tastes good but is also cost effective. :X
Lol oopz I thought about that after posting it..hmm Just like buy a bag small candy mix of snickers,twix etc..if you want cheaper one,you get can jolly ranchers.

Hmm... You are being more generous and giving away laptops instead of iphones and ipads, right?

Ehh, I'd stay away from the chocolate. Only because the place will be jam-packed with people and it could melt.
Jolly Ranchers? Big yes. I'd stick with wrapped-up candy.

Lol, the stereo thing could actually work!
Hey, ...do you hear a Labbayk nasheed playing?
*walk all the way to your booth*
Oh, what do you guys do? *grabs some candy*
:smile:
But then again, you wouldn't be able to play it too loud, you'll just annoy the booths beside you.
So glorify the praises of your Lord and be of those who prostrate themselves (to Him).

LOL! Well, maybe I could hire people to block people from going to other booths. :X
I don't want to cause a disturbance, which is why I'm really considering the nasheeds or not.

Depends who you go with. It's true that some people just go to hang around with friends, but don't pay those people any mind. Me and my friends attended nearly every lecture, taking breaks to eat or pray, from morning until night, and I came back from that event with much more knowledge than I ever would've gained here, alone, during the semester-where time is already lacking.
Definetely try to go, you won't regret it It takes place in Toronto, but it's worth the trip if you live in another city. Are you familiar with the MSA? If so, you can check with them, chances are they organize an annual trip there for anyone who wishes to go.

Do you mean the seating area will be segregated or the entire room?
MashAllah 22000 people huh..? I heard the announcers say that it was three time more than last year, but we never got a definite number, MashAllah! Hopefully you guys will have as much success.
maybe you are right. I just felt that many youth were acting childishly and were dressed ostensibly for an Islamic conference. Couple of speakers were good, others said stuff which one would know anyways. Anyways. I am looking forward to Journey of Faith conference.
Help me to escape from this existence
I yearn for an answer... can you help me?
I'm drowning in a sea of abused visions and shattered dreams
In somnolent illusion... I'm paralyzed
I once attended one of Sheikh Abdurr raheem green's lectures and I saw the trailer of this conference, and I completely forgot about it until now. I am searching for information on it but I cannot find it's upcoming date this year, could you please share any information you have on this conference?
Jazak'Allah kheir..
Sorry I don't mean to derail the thread, I am just really curious about this conference.
I have 1000 business cards, a banner stand with the banner on it, and insha-Allah 1000 brochures on its way. 2000 information pieces should be enough insha-Allah right?
How evil of you lol..when you get caught, dont forget to make the innocent face.
*notes down* Good point! Jazakallah. What other ideas you got, O mischievous one?
Just got the business cards and banner. Masha-Allah, they're looking good. Just waiting for the brochures to come in next week insha-Allah. Anyone know how to do bookmark designing?
