After running it for the first time, the much sought after National Youth Entrepreneur Convention returned on a larger scale on the 9th of January 2009.
We got 14 speakers under the age of 30 this time round. We even got a rapper to share his entrepreneurship story.
Most exciting note of all: HSBC, with their strong belief in youths & empowerment for youth entrepreneurship, stepped in and presented the Convention. Dutch Lady’s Shine co-sponsored the event, too.
It was a blast.

19th January, 2008.
13 speakers, from different industries. Technology. Music. Internet gaming. Blogging. Advertising. Photography.
What’s so special about them?
They were all successful entrepreneurs who’ve taken their respective industries by storm – all, under the age of 30. Some were even award winners, like the Deloitte Fast 500. Or the KLue Blue Chilli Award. One was even in the Malaysia’s Book of Records for being the youngest CEO of a public listed company at the age of 21.
Over 500 youths turned up, eager to hear the stories of successful entrepreneurship from these influential figures, whom they can call their peers.
The Convention had one vision: to empower youths by showing them that young people are capable of success.
