NABIC’s meetings may be cross-categorized by reach scope or (space) and time. Thus, all of its meetings could be looked at from two perspectives:

·         National or Regional

·         And Yearly or Periodic

Only the Annual Convention is national. All other meetings are regional.

The Annual Convention features multiple sessions and speakers spread over an entire day. It culminates with a fund-raising banquet with the presence of a keynote speaker. Not all of the speakers are of Bangladeshi heritage. Topics range from faith and larger issues common to all Muslims and people, in general, to topics specifically on Bangladesh to topics on the Youth to activities undertaken and planned by NABIC.

Regional meetings are much shorter – half-day with two sessions or just a single session. The number of speakers can range from 1 to 3. The typical focus is on introducing NABIC and highlighting its projects.
