Arab America Foundation Announces Connect Arab America: Empowerment Summit October 24-25, 2025 in New Jersey, New York
Engage with Visionary Leaders and Changemakers, focusing on Entrepreneurship, Women, Public Service, Youth Leadership, and Identity
“The CONNECT Empowerment Summit is more than an event—it’s where Arab Americans from all walks of life come together to build community, amplify our collective voice, and uplift the next generation of leaders,” said Warren David, co-founder of the Arab America Foundation. “In a time of uncertainty, we are creating space for unity, pride, and empowerment rooted in our rich heritage and shared future. From youth engagement to civic participation, this summit is a powerful catalyst for change and connection.”
This year’s summit is a unique opportunity to connect with a diverse community of like-minded individuals, visionary leaders, and influential speakers.
This dynamic summit brings together Arab Americans from across the country for two powerful days of networking, leadership, and celebration. You’ll engage with visionary leaders, bold changemakers, and emerging youth voices in unforgettable sessions on entrepreneurship, women’s empowerment, public service, youth leadership, and Arab heritage and identity.
In 2024, over 400 attendees from 26 states joined us—2025 will be even bigger. Don’t miss your chance to be part of a growing national movement!
