Associate Professor
Dr. Ahmad Shabudin Ariffin
Conference Chair

It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the International Conference of Management, Technology, Islamic Finance, Social Science & Humanities (ICMTISH 2026).

ICMTISH 2026 was established with a clear vision of creating an international platform that connects researchers, academicians, industry professionals, policymakers, and students in the pursuit of knowledge, innovation, and sustainable development. By bringing together diverse disciplines under one conference, we aspire to encourage meaningful dialogue, interdisciplinary collaboration, and practical solutions that address contemporary global challenges.

As research continues to shape the future of society, it is essential that scholars are provided with opportunities not only to present their work but also to engage with experts, build international networks, and explore pathways for academic publication. ICMTISH 2026 has therefore been designed to support participants throughout their research journey, from rigorous blind peer review by our panel of verified academic reviewers to publication opportunities through the official conference proceedings and selected partner journals, subject to their editorial and peer-review requirements.

Beyond the academic programme, ICMTISH 2026 offers a collaborative environment where delegates can exchange ideas, establish research partnerships, explore consultancy opportunities, and strengthen relationships with universities, industry leaders, and professional organisations. Our Networking & Gala Dinner further reflects our commitment to fostering meaningful professional connections that extend beyond the conference itself.

On behalf of the Organising Committee, I extend my sincere appreciation to our keynote speakers, scientific reviewers, journal partners, strategic collaborators, sponsors, and participants for their commitment and support. Your contribution is fundamental to the success of ICMTISH 2026 and to the advancement of knowledge across the fields of management, technology, Islamic finance, social sciences, and the humanities.

I warmly invite you to join us on 11-12 November 2026, whether in person or online, as we learn from one another, share innovative ideas, and build partnerships that will continue to create positive impact beyond this conference.

I wish you a productive, enriching, and memorable experience at ICMTISH 2026.
