Bonjour, readers!
Woah, this is my first blog post about the first society event of IBA in my first year, talk about firsts, eh? Yes, people, I am talking about the awe-inspiring event hosted by our very own Entrepreneur society, “Avant Garde 3.0” on 9th and 10th November. I had the honor of working as a part of the Management Team, under Muhammad Zubair in participatory affairs, and so I can acknowledge the amount of hard work and effort put in. You may all be wondering (those of you who did not attend) about the workshop and its content, let’s explore.
Avant Garde 3.0 is, essentially, a workshop about time management, sleep management and clarity of vision; it was conducted by Mr. Suleman Ahmer, CEO of Timelenders, who took out time for this 2-day conference and guided the participants how to attain success by managing these three very vital components of life. I sneaked up a chance to speak to Nabaz Khan(part of the Management Team for this event) who was present at the venue to give us an outlook to how it was conducted, “It was a fantastic learning experience” he stated, telling me that he learned various things as he heard Mr. Suleman Ahmer speak and now has learnt how to bring discipline to his life in terms of sleep and time management. He also claimed that the responsibility he carried as an MT member also gave him ample of time to learn how to handle several crisis situations that he and his colleagues had to stitch up before the event, just in time to make it perfect.
To get a good view of how the participants felt about this event, I had the chance to speak to Haris Sheikh who was a participant, he claimed that it was “interesting and engaging” particularly in regards to the second day of the workshop. He said he learnt that all of us experience several sleep disorders and Mr. Suleman Ahmer advised everyone on how to manage and get rid of these orders by providing several practical solutions, both in regards to Islam and medicine. I asked him if this workshop proved effective and how much of an impact it had on him, to which he laughed and said, “I’ve begun to follow the advices that were given” Wow! Sounds like Avant Garde did its job right!
Finally, I spent 5 minutes with the esteemed Manager of the Entrepreneur society, Zaid Moosani, who gave me a little idea about his effort in this event. “It was a wonderful learning experience! I got to work with the freshman officially and it felt great to know that this society has really good members and helpers” he gushed as he explained the thrill of having successfully pulled off the first society event at IBA. “It wasn’t like any other event, there was no dancing, no music, no partying. It was a sober, sophisticated event. People came in to actually learn” I guess we have to agree with him here as this event was a clear-cut corporate event, shaping future businessmen and entrepreneurs and grooming their skills. Moosani also claimed that he was terrified at first, dreading a lack of registrations but to his relief and surprise, he was flooded. An overall population of 250 people attended this event blending in the corporate aura and culture that submerged the auditorium that weekend. They all exited that hall on Sunday with new visions and horizons, new sleeping habits and a new attitude towards life and time. Here’s to the Entrepreneur society for pulling off a great event, Kudos!
Cheers,
