It is most useful for Islamic finance scholars, bankers, CPAs and academic leaders who want a scholarly exchange, since it is an annual forum hosted on a college campus and aimed at both scholars and practitioners. As a 4th edition with a three-day campus format, it suited those building academic and ethical-finance connections; executives looking for a large deal-making trade show would have gotten less.
Attendees at academic and finance conferences usually wear business casual, with bankers and CPAs often in a jacket and scholars in smart casual clothes. Campus access involved a short walk from the Metra stop, and mid October near Chicago can be cool, so a layer and comfortable shoes were practical.
