PRE-EVENT DINNER: Manwar Ali and Tom WIlson

Pre-event dinners are your opportunity to get to know one of our prestigious speakers over a delicious three-course meal at the Marco Pierre White Restaurant, including wine! This dinner is with Tom Wilson who will be interviewing Manwar Ali, also known as Abu Muntasir, who is a former jihadist who now works with the UK's Home Office and Crown Prosecution Service to address extremism. He is a Muslim scholar who promotes peaceful coexistence through education, social projects, and open discussion. Ali founded JIMAS, a UK Muslim charity, and has extensive experience teaching Islam. Guests attending the pre-event dinner are guaranteed a seat on the front benches for the event. Unless otherwise stated, pre-event dinners start at 6:15 PM, meeting in the bar of the Hotel Indigo.
