AIESEC, the international platform for young students to discover and explore their potential brings to you Youth to Business (Y2B) Forum 2011. The forum aims at bridging the divide between campus life and the corporate world by uniting the smartest minds from both these areas under one roof. The event will provide a platform for the youth leaders of Manipal to associate themselves with successful entrepreneurs. It will provide the youth with a chance to share different perspectives, ideas and outlook on topics of global relevance.

Youth to Business Forum 2010:

We hosted a Youth to Business Forum last year on the 18th of September at the TMA Pai International Convention Centre, Mangalore. There was a delegate attendance of about 300 students comprising of students from Manipal.

The event is expected to be brilliant going by last year’s response, and since it is in Manipal this time, it really should not be missed. For any of you who aspire to be an entrepreneur or “doing your own thing”, this will be the place to be 🙂
