What is YMC?

The Young Muslims Conference (YMC) is a space intentionally crafted for the youth, by the youth. It’s more than just a weekend event—it’s a chance to pause, reflect, and reconnect. Taking place alongside the ICNA Convention in Baltimore, YMC 2026 brings together young Muslims from across the country for real conversations, meaningful reminders, and a strong sense of community that’s often hard to find.

This year’s theme, “Shield of Light,” is a call to return to the Qur’an—reconnecting with its guidance, living by its teachings, and using it as a protection from fitan—as YMC brings together respected speakers, relevant sessions, and honest dialogue to meet youth where they are, nurture reflection and growth, and help them rise to where they’re meant to be while building lasting bonds and memories.

Outside the sessions, attendees can take part in community-driven events like the brothers’ basketball tournament and sisters-only sessions, offering space to unwind, bond, and simply be surrounded by like-minded young Muslims.
