LAHORE: Around 900 students from across the country joined the Young Leaders and Entrepreneurial Summit (YLES) 2010 at the Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) on Tuesday.
The summit, which would continue until January 23, is organised by LUMS Entrepreneurial Society (LES), which has been organising the event for the past four years.
AKD Securities Chief Executive Nadeem Naqvi was the chief guest.
According to the organisers, the summit would provide a platform for young entrepreneurs to network with the gurus of marketing, meet the leaders of today and decision makers of tomorrow and most importantly, listen to the stories of their fellow participants.
Aim: The aim of the YLES 2010 is to help the future leaders develop business acumen through a series of seminars conducted by professionals.
The students would also learn pressure management, group dynamics and team working skills.
Various competitions, workshops and social events including a formal dinner and a concert would also
be held.
LES President Aneeq Ahmed Cheema said it was the first student-based entrepreneurial society in Pakistan.
“We offer less wise words and more experience that in itself bequeaths wisdom. A wisdom that befalls from meeting people, learning new ideas, adopting new skills, facing competitions and finally learning and about winning and losing, accepting and challenging all that comes in our way,” Cheema said.
Changing attitudes: Maha Rehman, head of the host team, said, “YLES 2010 seeks to transform attitudes and change mindsets. It seeks to challenge the institutional framework of the society, which will be the first step towards bringing a positive difference in
the system.”
According to LES Vice President Muddasir Nawaz, YLES “brings an opportunity for students to learn, network, enjoy and most importantly discover their skills”.
