Organising committee
The convention is run by a committee of 10 volunteers. Nobody is paid. The committee was formed after the 2025 summit, when the event had outgrown what one person could organise alone.
Murshad Masud Qazi

Founded the convention in 2021, declaring his Buffalo home a hub for Pakistani and international entrepreneurs. Hosted the first four editions from that house on Lake Ontario, catered by his own restaurant, Clay Handi.
