Gen-Z Action Summit Bahawalpur 2026

GenZ Action Summit is coming to Bahawalpur for the first time.

This isn’t a conference where people read off slides. It’s a room of 100 people listening to the version of the story that doesn’t make it to LinkedIn: the failures, the turning points, and what was actually learned.

On Sunday, 13 December 2026 at Faletti’s Grand, Bahawalpur, founders, professionals, educators and young leaders will share how they built something, often from right here, not from a bigger city. You’ll hear short personal talks, a panel on building from Bahawalpur, and longer expert conversations. There are also hands-on labs, a Pitch Arena, and sessions where students and young founders take the stage.

The theme: Legacy to Leadership

Bahawalpur’s rulers built libraries, not just palaces. This year’s summit asks today’s generation the same question: what are you building that outlasts you?

Come curious. You don’t need a big title to belong in this room.

Who should apply

Students & young professionals: if you’re figuring out what’s next, this room is full of people who were exactly there not long ago.
Founders & entrepreneurs: honest talk about building something, especially from outside a big city.
Anyone who’s curious: you don’t need a reason beyond wanting to spend a Sunday around people who are trying to figure things out, like you.

Open to young people aged 16–30 from anywhere in Pakistan.

Frequently asked questions

How do I apply?
Seats are limited to 100, so apply early here: https://genzactionsummit.leadxpakistan.org/apply/
Choose your category, fill in the form, and pay the application fee. Then track your status with your reference number.

Is there a fee?
There are three ways to join:

Fully Funded: application fee PKR 500; the summit fee is covered.
Partially Funded: application fee PKR 300; summit fee PKR 2,000, paid only after you’re selected.
Self-Funded: application fee PKR 100; summit fee PKR 3,500, paid only after you’re selected.

Paying the application fee doesn’t guarantee selection. Every application is reviewed on merit.

What should I bring or wear?
Smart casual is fine. Bring your admit card and CNIC or student ID. Bring a notebook too if you like taking notes by hand, because a lot of what’s shared here doesn’t end up online.

Is food included?
Meals and refreshments are provided on summit day.

Can I bring a friend?
Of course. Just make sure they apply too, since every seat is selected and seating is limited.

Is there a prayer space?
Yes. Breaks are scheduled for Zuhr and Asr, with a prayer space available.

Will there be photos or recordings?
Yes. The day will be photographed and parts of it filmed for LEADx Pakistan’s channels. Let the team know on the day if you’d prefer not to be featured.
