MR’s Review:
I’ll be honest. I chilled a lot more then I went to lectures. (That’s because of my intention for the weekend). Alhamdulillah, the Maryland campus was beautiful and very big. The hotel was nice. I met a lot of great Muslim brothers, MashaAllah. The titles of the lectures were really good, and from what I hear the speakers were good too, even though many were not big name speakers. Here is a comparison between last years and this years:
