World Takaful Conference 2018 | ME Global Advisors | 9 April 2018 | Dusit Thani Dubai, 133 Sheikh Zayed Road, Near Financial Centre Metro Station, Dubai, UAE

World Takaful Conference is the leading global forum for Takaful and has played an instrumental role in the development of the industry for more than a decade by facilitating thought-provoking discussions, producing quality research and generating actionable insights.

Though still at a nascent stage of development, the Takaful industry has witnessed rapid growth over the past 7 years with its total assets doubling in the last 5 years. As the industry navigates through the complex global insurance landscape, there is a greater need for its leaders to share insights and deliberate on new strategies to help it grow beyond its niche status.
