the story
behind Elevate Business Summits
Elevate Business Summits was founded with a bold yet simple vision: to create premium, faith-conscious leadership events that connect Muslim business minds across Australia.
Inspired by the values of purpose-driven entrepreneurship and the need for spaces where identity and ambition align, Elevate offers a unique platform for Muslim professionals, directors, and entrepreneurs to gather, grow, and elevate their impact.
Our flagship event - Elevate: Muslims in Business 2026 - will bring together over 100 leaders for an unforgettable summit of inspiration, networking, and spiritual alignment on Hayman Island.
our partnership
with Salaam
Elevate Business Summit 2026 is proudly co-produced in collaboration with Salaam, Australia's largest Shariah-compliant wealth services provider and a values-driven organisation founded by Prof. Talal Yassine AM, committed to empowering Muslim professionals and enterprises to succeed with integrity and purpose.
This partnership represents more than sponsorship - it’s a collaboration built on shared purpose and community impact. Together, Elevate and Salaam are uniting to amplify the voice of Muslim business leadership across Australia, fostering a space where faith, excellence, and enterprise converge.
Through this partnership:
-
Salaam brings its deep community engagement and creative expertise to help extend the summit’s impact.
-
Elevate provides the platform for connection, thought leadership, and inspiration - a place where values-driven businesses can thrive.
-
Prof. Talal Yassine AM will join as both a keynote speaker and a guiding partner, helping shape a program that reflects leadership through faith and excellence.
This collaboration embodies how purpose-driven organisations can work together to achieve meaningful outcomes - not through transaction, but through shared vision and trust.
