PROPOSAL:

YES ’12 Youth Entrepreneurial Summit

With the aim of promoting a culture that fosters the development of leaders and entrepreneurs, IDEAS “The Rising Spirit” Society For Encouraging The Practice Of Entrepreneurship, at the University of Central Punjab is working effectively for the last three years by providing a platform to students to experiment their creativity and to polish their entrepreneurship skills. In continuation of the previous vigorous efforts, University of Central Punjab is taking a step forward by organizing YES ’12 “Youth Entrepreneurial Summit”. UCP is pleased to invite you to this mega event that would no doubt provide the participants an opportunity to interact with the sparkling youth from all over Pakistan. UCP is hosting a three-day event from 5th, 6th and 7th January, 2012 under the Department of Entrepreneurship, Faculty of Management Studies.

University of Central Punjab, espousing its mission of providing quality education to the youth, focuses not only on imparting knowledge to youngsters but also developing professionals who can make some significant contribution to the society in any field that they aspire to enter. We believe in continuous learning and preparing our youth to face and fight the global challenges may it be managerial, socio-cultural, economic or political.

IDEAS “The Rising Spirit” at UCP believes that one can translate his dreams into reality through proper guidance and support. The greatest inventions around were once a vague idea; it is not only the personal conviction but also the right direction that enables a person to achieve laurels.  IDEAS have directed all its efforts in helping the budding entrepreneurs and leaders to develop their vision and determine the right path. In the last three years IDEAS has successfully organized Ad galas, business plan competition, marketing week, industrial trips and tours, seminars and workshops. IDEAS has also established a project and case study bank that facilitates students in developing or launching a business plan.

YES ‘12 is an effort of IDEAS with collaboration of Student Council at UCP under the Faculty of Management Studies (FMS). The three day activity encompasses a series of challenging episodes such as TEDxUCP, Business plan competition, Junk yard, three parallel workshops on Idea generation, Business model and Networking & financials by renowned professionals followed by some recreational activities and Ad gala in “Brand War”. Different teams from all over Pakistan would be taking part in this event, providing them an opportunity to recognize their potential and to translate their ambiguous ideas or theoretical concepts into practical ones. This experience no doubt will open for them new horizons and will inculcate in them the skills required to move ahead in this competitive and ever changing business world. UCP is looking forward to your keen participation as a major partner so as to enable our nation to build a platform from where students can learn, share and carry forward their aspirations.

TEDx

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience.

Company Overview:

TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. Started as a four-day conference in California 25 years ago, TED has grown to support those world-changing ideas with multiple initiatives. The annual TED Conference invites the world's leading thinkers and doers to speak for 18 minutes. Their talks are then made available, free, at TED.com. TED speakers have included Bill Gates, Al Gore, Jane Goodall, Elizabeth Gilbert, Sir Richard Branson, Nandan Nilekani, Philippe Starck, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Isabel Allende and UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown. The annual TED Conference takes place in Long Beach, California, with simulcast in Palm Springs; TEDGlobal is held each year in Oxford, UK. TED's media initiatives include TED.com, where new TEDTalks are posted daily, and the Open Translation Project, which provides subtitles and interactive transcripts as well as the ability for any TEDTalk to be translated by volunteers worldwide. TED has established the annual TED Prize, where exceptional individuals with a wish to change the world are given the opportunity to put their wishes into action; TEDx, which offers individuals or groups a way to organize independent, TED-like events around the world; and the TEDFellows program, helping world-changing innovators from around the globe to become part of the TED community and, with its help, amplify the impact of their remarkable projects and activities.
