Why this event matters for young people in South Punjab
Ask any final-year student in Multan, Bahawalpur or Dera Ghazi Khan about jobs, and you will often hear the same answer: the good ones are in Lahore, Karachi or Islamabad. Our own figures agree. Of the 10,614 jobs posted on GetPakJob between January and November 2026, only 63 were based in Multan. Most young people cannot simply move to a big city for an entry-level salary.
That is why online skills matter so much here. A freelancer, a remote SEO executive or a home-based online seller can earn from Multan as well as from anywhere else. The iSkills Youth Summit is built around exactly those skills, and it is free, local and on a Saturday, so it costs a student little more than a day and the fare to BZU.
Who organises it
The summit is run by iSkills, a digital skills training company founded in Multan in 2017 by M. Tanveer Nandla, an SEO trainer who received the Pride of Pakistan award. iSkills runs paid courses in SEO, local SEO, Etsy selling and virtual assistance, and says it has trained more than 20,000 learners. The Youth Summit is its free yearly event. Earlier editions were held at the same venue in February 2023 and March 2024; news coverage of the 2024 summit reported thousands of students attending from across Pakistan.

- 9:00 AM: registration and welcome coffee
- 10:00 AM: keynotes
- 11:30 AM: talks
- 1:00 PM: networking
- 2:30 PM: masterclasses in four tracks: SEO and blogging, digital marketing, freelancing and e-commerce, and emerging digital opportunities
- Closing: a featured closing session
Confirmed speakers so far are M. Tanveer Nandla and Khuram Malik, a local SEO expert and digital creator. Ten more speaker slots were still listed as "to be announced" when we checked. Panel discussions and live Q&A are also planned.
Which track should you choose?
You cannot be in four masterclasses at once, so decide before you arrive:
- SEO and blogging if you write well in English or Urdu and like research. SEO is one of the most common digital jobs in Pakistani adverts.
- Digital marketing if you already run a page or enjoy social media. Agencies hire for social media, ads and content roles.
- Freelancing and e-commerce if you want to earn from home: Fiverr, Upwork, Etsy or your own online shop.
- Emerging digital opportunities if you are still exploring and want a wider view, including AI tools.
The demand is real. Between 1st January 2026 and 10th November 2026, GetPakJob carried 850 jobs in digital marketing, SEO and social media, plus 375 graphic designer jobs, 111 e-commerce jobs and 100 content writing jobs.
Getting to BZU
The Jinnah Auditorium is on the main campus of Bahauddin Zakariya University, on Bosan Road. If you live in Multan, a rickshaw or ride-hailing car to the main gate is the simplest option; ask the guards for the auditorium, because the campus is spread out. Coming from Bahawalpur, Lodhran, Khanewal, Vehari or Muzaffargarh, plan to leave early so that you reach BZU by about 8:30 AM. Registration opens at 9, and the gate is busiest in the first hour. Female students may find it easier to travel and sit with classmates from their own college; our guide to jobs for women in Pakistan covers work options and your rights at work. Before you leave home, check the summit website or the iSkills Facebook page in case the timing changes.
What to bring to the iSkills Youth Summit 2026
- Your phone, charged, with your ticket confirmation and a power bank. It will be a long day.
- A one-page CV as a PDF on your phone, and a few printed copies if you are actively job hunting. Our CV format guide shows a layout Pakistani employers like.
- A notebook and pen. Masterclasses move fast, and written notes are easier to act on later.
- Your student card or CNIC, in case the venue checks identity at the gate.
- Water and a snack, because food queues at large free events are long.
Making the day count
The students who get the most from a summit are rarely the ones who attend every session. They are the ones who talk to people. Use the 1 PM networking slot to introduce yourself to a trainer, an agency owner or a freelancer who is a year or two ahead of you. Ask one honest question: "What would you do in my place in the next three months?" Most people enjoy answering it.
Be careful with any paid offer on the day. The summit itself is free, and there are many free ways to start learning. Our list of free AI courses in Pakistan is a good place to begin before you spend money on a course.
If you cannot attend
Not everyone can travel to Multan on a Saturday. iSkills posts updates on its Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and TikTok pages, so follow them to see who spoke and what was covered. Then pick one topic from the agenda and learn it with free resources at home; the skills matter more than the event.
After the summit
Give yourself a 30-day project while the motivation lasts: write and publish five blog posts, set up a Fiverr gig with three samples, or grow a small business page for a relative's shop. Then add it to your CV and start applying.
