Location & Venue

The hybrid conference will take place in Manado, North Sulawesi, Indonesia.

Manado, the capital of North Sulawesi, is a vibrant coastal city located at the northern tip of Sulawesi Island. Surrounded by tropical landscapes, volcanic highlands, and the Celebes Sea, Manado is renowned for its cultural diversity, warm hospitality, distinctive cuisine, and spectacular marine environment. The city is also the principal gateway to Bunaken National Park, one of Indonesia’s best-known marine destinations and an internationally renowned location for diving and snorkeling.

The conference will be hosted at Institut Agama Islam Negeri (IAIN) Manado – State Islamic Institute of Manado, a state Islamic higher-education institution in North Sulawesi. The university provides an excellent academic environment for international scholarly exchange, interdisciplinary discussion, networking, and collaboration.

Complimentary lunch and coffee breaks will be provided to all registered in-person participants during the main conference days.

Conference participants will be served lunch at no additional charge, together with coffee/tea breaks and light refreshments between conference sessions.

Please note that accommodation is not included in the conference registration. Participants are responsible for arranging and paying for their own accommodation.

A range of accommodation is available within a relatively short distance of IAIN Manado. Participants may choose according to their preferred budget, facilities, and location.

Conference participants should book their accommodation directly with their preferred hotel. Hotel rates, room availability, breakfast arrangements, cancellation policies, and airport transfers are determined independently by each hotel and may change according to the booking period.

The conference organizers do not provide or cover accommodation expenses. Participants are therefore encouraged to make hotel reservations early, particularly if travelling internationally.
