The Muslim community across Australia, New Zealand, Southeast Asia and the South Pacific is anticipating a historic gathering: the Australasian and Southeast Asian Muslim Youth Summit (ASEAMYS 2026), to be held Friday 6– Saturday 7 February 2026 at Brisbane Technology Park.

Organised by the Islamic Council of Queensland (ICQ) in partnership with AFIC and RISEAP, this landmark summit aims to empower young Muslim leaders, strengthen the Muslim Ummah, and build resilient, future-ready youth networks rooted in Islamic principles and the shared concerns of the Ummah.

ASEAMYS 2026 will bring together Muslim youth leaders, scholars, activists, educators, and community leaders for two days of inspiration, knowledge-sharing, and strategic collaboration.

Key themes include global issues affecting the Ummah, Islamic leadership, identity and Islamophobia, youth wellbeing and mental health, advocacy, and long-term sustainability for this initiative across the region, into the future.

With a strong focus on unity, spiritual growth, and practical leadership development, the Summit encourages young Muslims (aged 15–39) to rise with confidence and become drivers of positive change.

Confirmed international (subject to any necessary visa approvals) and Australian speakers include Anas Al-Tikriti, Abdelaziz Berghout, Randa Abdel-Fattah, Khairuddin Jneid, Zohair Abdul-Rahman, Rita Jabri-Markwell, Princess Lakshman and Yahya Ibrahim.
