IlmFest 2009 DVD Set at RIS Conference

I spent the weekend putting together this special product for you guys. Look for it at the AlMaghrib booth in Toronto’s RIS Conference. You should see a big poster that looks sort of like this:

Check out some of the videos that were taken at IlmFest to see what people’s experience was:

    Soo…will online sales also be available? :)
    It’s a good medium to show my fam how awesome AlMaghrib is.

    Any way those who aren’t in Toronto can get their hands on this? *hopefulsmile*

    As of right now it’s only being sold at the RIS conference in Toronto. For the moment, if you wish to share the content AlMaghrib has to offer with your family – check out: http://www.ilmcast.com

    Asalaamu Alaykum,

    If you could expand a bit on the technical aspect of this that would be awesome. How exactly did you get the cost so low? I assume It’s subsidized by AlMaghrib in order to promote AlMaghrib material right? I hope I’m wrong =X

    I want to know because I will be filming parts of the Annur conference to push to DVD inshaAllah, but we’re going to kind of be crowd sourcing =D Any tips? I know DVD duplication can be a pain =/ so tips on that to cut costs would be awesome.

    We would love to push these at Annur Conference next week, hit me up if that’s possible! We have an AlMaghrib booth booked too.

    Think of the DVDs as a loss leader. It costs about $8 to produce them, however, anyone who registers for a class has the opportunity to purchase it at the price so it makes up for the $3 difference in class registration fee.

    As for crowd sourcing for the Annur conference – what’s the objective of the DVDs?

    With this set, its a means of gifting students attending the seminar and promoting AlMaghrib. It’s really a marketing cost.

    Assalama alaykum wa rahmatullah,

    I was working at the AlMaghrib booth at RIS, alhamdulillah and I got the IlmFest DVD set. I was kind of confused when the first disc, Disc 1 had 3 lectures on it? I haven’t had a chance to watch all of the discs yet. So its not the whole conference, is my main query.

    was Salama alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu

    Walaikum asalaam wr

    From what I understand of your question is that you’re asking if it’s the whole IlmFest conference. Did I understand correctly?

    If I did, then no, it’s not the seminar. It’s missing several sessions. In fact, I took the most beneficial topics from each speaker (except AbdulBary Yahya because we ran out of time due to deadline) and included some bonus lectures from speakers who weren’t at IlmFest 2009 and put them on the DVD.

    I would love to buy these or download them if available. Do you know if al-maghrib is planning to sell these as downloads?

    They still have some extras that they sell at events. I saw some of the DVDs sets being sold at Western Sunrise at QNurayn (DC Area).
