For the first time, past and present members of the Bangladesh Youth Leadership Center (BYLC), student delegates from local schools and 50 nationally and internationally renowned experts came together for a stimulating three-day Annual Youth Leadership Summit on March 3rd, 2011 - March 5th, 2011 in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The goal of the Summit was to provide a platform for Bangladeshi youth to voice their concerns through plenary sessions and panel discussions. Graduates from all the previous Building Bridges through Leadership Training (BBLT) programs had the opportunity to network and exchange thoughts on pressing national issues with selected student delegates and leading professionals, academics and entrepreneurs.

The theme of the Summit was The Role of Courage in Leadership to highlight courage as a major ingredient for change. In addition to inspiring discussions and lectures, the Summit featured fun ice breaking activities, social events, and a grand award ceremony.
