The specific format underpinning each event will be presented to attendees during the Introduction kick-starting the event. Here, Kamran will explain how the event has been structured and will elaborate on a detailed briefing document sent to each attendee prior to the event, which outlines the vision, event format and guiding rules of operation driving the event. Kamran's personal profile (see Kamran A. Beg's Personal Profile) is provided herewith for your kind reference.
 
An example of one such briefing document is provided below. Here, it has been assumed that an event starts at 1pm and ends at 6pm. The same structure applies to all events.

FORMAT OF THE PROFESSIONAL MUSLIM SINGLES EVENT
 
VISION INSPIRING THE EVENT
 
The Professional Muslim Singles Event has been inspired by, and structured according to, a halal framework designed to optimise your chances of meeting and conversing with like-minded, potentially, matrimonial candidates.

EVENT FORMAT
 
12 noon – Attendees arrive, sign in, receive a form for recording the names of attendees that they may wish to engage in further dialogue with after the event, and are then respectfully escorted to the Banqueting Hall. Refreshments are served.
 
1pm - Kamran A. Beg, who will chair and preside over the event, will deliver an Introduction, which will, amongst other things, include an elaborate explanation of the event’s format and the specific guiding rules of operation. Refreshments will continue until 1.30pm. Attendees will be encouraged to relax, engage in constructive dialogue, and derive maximum benefit from the event, though all within the remit of a halal setting.
 
The event is divided into two stages:
 
Stage 1: Collective Dialogues (1.30pm-4.30pm).
 
Stage 2: One-to-one Dialogues (4.30pm-5.45pm).
 
1.30pm - Attendees are assigned to their ‘first table’. Each table will seat eight members: four males and four females, with the males seated opposite the females. This structure will apply for each of the ensuing rotations. Attendees should proceed with dialogue by initially introducing themselves to everyone at the table. This usually provides a positive stimulus for further conversation, ‘breaks the ice’, and allows attendees to flow into a conversation more easily with their fellow table members. This pattern should be repeated at each of the subsequent table sittings.
 
2pm - The three-course buffet consisting of a starter, main course and dessert will be available from 2pm and will be left in the Banqueting Hall for attendees’ consumption till 5.30pm. Attendees may therefore consume the food at their own pace and convenience.
 
2.30pm – Male attendees are now asked to rotate to a ‘second table’, with each set of females remaining seated at their initially designated table throughout the course of the event. In this way, each ‘rotating’ set of male attendees will meet a new set of female attendees at each rotation and vice versa.
 
2.50pm - Male attendees are now asked to rotate to a ‘third table’.
 
3.10pm - Male attendees are now asked to rotate to a ‘fourth table’.
 
3.30pm - Male attendees are now asked to rotate to a ‘fifth table’.
 
3.50pm - Male attendees are now asked to rotate to a ‘sixth table’.
 
4.10pm - Male attendees are now asked to rotate to a ‘seventh table’. This will complete Stage 1 (Collective Dialogues) of the event.
 
4.30pm – Stage 2 (One-to-one Dialogues) will commence at 4.30pm. Attendees are now allowed to move freely between tables and to engage in dialogue with any of their fellow attendees.
 
5.30pm – The buffet will be taken away. Refreshments will still be available. Discussions among attendees will continue. Stage 2 (One-to-one Dialogues) will end at 5.45pm.
 
5.45pm – Kamran will give a closing statement, including encouraging attendees to fill out the attendee feedback form (which will be e-mailed to attendees post-event), and return it after the event. Kamran will also ask attendees to contact him, or one of his associates, with a view to eliciting the contact details of particular attendees that they may wish to renew dialogue with post-event, though such contact details can only be obtained strictly subject to specific rules of operation explained in Guiding Rules of Operation (see below). The event will now end and will formally be brought to a close at 6pm.

GUIDING RULES OF OPERATION
 
The singles event today has been organised to allow Professional Muslim Singles to gain exposure to a diverse spectrum of responsible, like-minded, upstanding, fellow Muslim professionals, who have undergone rigorous and intelligent vetting prior to being invited to the event. The event itself is deliberately intended to be relaxed and ‘respectably’ informal, though crucially within the specific ambit of a halal context. Each attendee will be expected to conform to the spirit and essence of a halal setting throughout the entire duration of the event. Mutual respectfulness, politeness, sensitivity, an appetite for keen listening, and a capacity for lucid elaboration will help to inform a meaningful dialogue. The only ‘music’ that will be evident at the event will be the constructive dialogue that ensues among attendees! Mobile phones should be switched off as a matter of courtesy to fellow attendees! The selection of venue legislates for both the various religious and cultural sensitivities that an event of this type should take into account and lends to the halal ethos driving the event. A formal dress code is compulsory for both male and female attendees and reinforces the halal dynamic driving the event.
 
It has been strongly recommended by the event organisers that each attendee should have consulted and briefed either their parent(s) or their guardian(s) before attending the event. Such consultation and consent only serve to corroborate the halal feature, which is the cornerstone of this matrimonial Muslim singles event.
 
The consultants supervising, guiding, invigilating, facilitating and overseeing the event are Kamran A. Beg and his fellow associates, each of whom is an experienced and established professional in their respective fields of operation.
 
Should any female approach Kamran, or one of his associates, and request the contact details of a specific male or males those contact details will be provided unconditionally at or after the event. The male attendee(s) in question would be identified by their name-tag. Alternatively, a female attendee could obtain such contact details directly from the male attendee(s) in question during the event itself.
 
Should any male approach Kamran, or one of his associates, and request the contact details of a specific female or females those contact details will be provided conditionally at or after the event, once the female(s) in question has/have given Kamran, or one of his associates, their consent to do so. The female attendee(s) in question would be identified by their name-tag. Alternatively, a male attendee could obtain such contact details directly from the female attendee(s) in question during the event itself should the female(s) in question agree to give her/their contact details to him.
 
Note, post-event, attendees will be able to approach Kamran, or one of his associates (contact details for the consultants have already been provided in the Invitation which you received for attending the event itself), to enquire about the possibility of obtaining the contact details of specific attendees.
 
In the case of females enquiring after the event about the contact details of specific males present at the event those details will be provided unconditionally and without any further charge. This after-event customer service is covered by the actual fee paid to attend the event itself.
 
In the case of males enquiring after the event about specific females, however, a very rigorous criterion will be applied in that Kamran, or any of his associates, will not release such contact details unless they have contacted the female in question, indicated the enquiring male to her, and obtained the female’s consent. If consent is not provided contact details regarding that female will not be released to the enquiring male, though the female in question could request the contact details of the enquiring male from Kamran, or one of his associates, and contact him (the enquiring male) at her discretion. Again, this after-event customer service is covered by the actual fee paid to attend the event itself.
 
Should attendees have any questions in the lead up to the event, during the event, or following it, please kindly feel free to call Kamran A. Beg, Consultant, on 07980 001426 (if calling from within the UK) or +44 7980 001426 (if calling from outside the UK) or alternatively call 07876 042660 (if calling from within the UK) or +44 7876 042660 (if calling from outside the UK), or e-mail him on kamran@kamranabegevents.com, or speak to him, or any of his associates, in person on the afternoon of the actual event itself. Attendees are encouraged to ask as many questions as possible and to exercise their spirit of enquiry to the full.
 
Finally, attendees should additionally regard this event as an ideal framework in which to network with fellow Muslim professionals. Such networking forums can only help to bridge the vast reservoirs of knowledge, experience and potential that the attendees manifest in a professional sense.
