Three days. 300 seats. One room built to do five things most conferences promise and never deliver: reconnect you to your purpose, sharpen your strategy, put real capital and real customers in front of you, and hand you a peer circle that holds you accountable long after Anaheim.
You'll also walk away with two things most conferences never give you: a personal behavioral and cognitive assessment that shows you exactly how you think, work, and lead best, and a practical, AMCOB-built guide to closing more deals.
This isn't a conference you attend. It's a weekend you build on for the next ten years.

We could sell 1,000 seats and make more money doing it. We're capping this at 300 because a room of 1,000 produces business cards. A room of 300 produces relationships you'll still be calling in five years. That's the trade we're making, and it's the reason this isn't for everyone, it's for the 300 who move first.
You won't just collect business cards, you'll close deals, find your next hire, meet your next investor, and leave with a peer group that checks in on your goals in October, not just in September.
Full access to a single day of your choice — Friday, Saturday, or Sunday.
Lock in this rate before the price goes up.
HNI Saturday night dinner at LEAD Summit Anaheim.
As participation in LEAD is intentionally limited, cancellations are managed with care:
The LEAD Summit Anaheim Expo is built into the fabric of the summit. Over three days, the expo floor puts you face-to-face with businesses, service providers, and decision-makers who are there for one reason: to do business.
This isn't a trade show floor with 200 tables and foot traffic that never converts. It's a curated room of 300 buyers. This is one of the most targeted business networking events in Anaheim.
Booth count is capped to keep the floor curated, not crowded. Reserve early.
LEAD Summit is AMCOB's flagship annual event for founders, CEOs, and executives. LEAD Summit Anaheim takes place March 26–28, 2027 in Anaheim, bringing together 300 of the most motivated Muslim business leaders in the country.
LEAD Summit is designed for Muslim founders, CEOs, and senior executives who are ready to scale, connect, and build with intention.
No. LEAD Summit is open to all qualified professionals. AMCOB members receive exclusive discounts.
No. Only registered summit attendees and credentialed press can access the expo floor.
Absolutely. The AMCOB LEAD Summit welcomes Muslim women founders and executives.
Email info@amcob.org with a short note about your work and what you would bring to the room.
One good introduction pays for the seat many times over — plus tools and peer relationships that outlast three days in Anaheim.
As participation in LEAD is intentionally limited, cancellations are managed with care:
I've sat in enough rooms to know the difference between one that performs community and one that actually holds it.
Most business conferences hand you a lanyard, a schedule, and a feed full of people you'll never speak to again. We didn't want to build that. We wanted a room where you could be a serious entrepreneur and a person of faith without translating yourself in either direction - where growing your business and growing your purpose were the same conversation, not two competing ones.
AMCOB exists because too many of us have built successful companies while quietly wondering if success was ever really the point. The LEAD Summit is our answer to that question, compressed into 48 hours: a room built for founders who want to close deals on Saturday and still recognize themselves on Sunday.
We didn't build this to fill seats. We built it because the entrepreneurs in our community deserve one weekend a year that's entirely theirs.
I hope you'll be in the room.
Three days. 300 leaders. One city. One weekend that either includes you, or doesn't.
This is the Muslim business summit that belongs on your calendar - not the one you tell people you meant to attend.
