ISNA Information Technology Advisory Group (iTAG)

September 1-2, 2007

The ISNA iTAG Conference examines the use of information technology within Muslim communities in North America and focuses on ways to implement new methods to enhance productivity and effectiveness within the community.  E-mails, bulletin boards and online conversations have replaced physical gatherings and provided widely accessible repositories of information on the Internet.

The Planning Committee of the 10th Annual ISNA iTAG Conference invites individuals interested in the development of the Muslim community to identify community needs, present new practices, and propose solutions for continuous improvement.  Community leaders will benefit by attending this conference to enhance the efficiency of their own communities through the application of new technologies. The iTAG Conference also provides a career networking opportunity for Muslim professionals and employers.
