Celebrating 45 Years of ADC

September 25–28, 2025 | Dearborn, Michigan

We’ve Been Here Before—but history doesn’t define us; it propels us forward. ArabCon 2025 gathers at a critical moment calling us to turn lessons from our collective past into grounded, decisive action.

From defending our right to say “Free Palestine!” in the face of relentless censorship, to resisting our erasure from classrooms and history books, to standing with our families enduring endless wars in the Middle East—we draw strength from the past to power today’s movements.

ArabCon is also a proud celebration of Arab American resilience, creativity, and service. Our community shapes America’s story through art, music, film, business, politics, and education – underscoring our essential place in the nation’s cultural, civic, and economic fabrics.

Drawing strength from family, community, and faith, we come together to transform shared adversity into lasting progress.

Join us in Dearborn, Michigan, September 25–28.
