The Arab America Foundation is excited to announce the CONNECT Arab America: Empowerment Summit to be held, on Friday, October 25, and Saturday, October 26, 2024. at the Ford Community and Performing Arts Center, 15801 Michigan Avenue, Dearborn, Michigan 48126.

This year’s summit is a unique opportunity to connect with a diverse community of like-minded individuals, visionary leaders, and influential speakers.

After the cancellation of last year’s summit by the Doubletree Hotel in the wake of the tragic genocide in Gaza, we are determined to come together and assert our identity. This year, we’ve chosen Dearborn, as the location of our summit—a city that symbolizes the heart of Arab America and has faced marginalization amidst the recent crisis in Gaza.

Join us in Dearborn, where we will provide essential support and resources to empower our community. Get ready for an unforgettable experience filled with engaging discussions on identity, entrepreneurship, women’s empowerment, youth leadership, and the commemoration of our rich heritage.

Over 450 registrants from 26 states attended the summit in 2022. We are expecting a sell-out summit this year.
