IGAC organises Big Bang III conference in Dhaka

The International Global Affairs Council (IGAC), a youth-led platform focused on nurturing future leaders, has wrapped up its three-day flagship conference, Big Bang III: Where Innovation Starts, held from August 29–31 in the capital.

The event was presented by NEXT Ventures as the exclusive title sponsor.

Organised under the banner of Bizonomix 2025, the conference brought together young innovators to test their skills in business pitching, financial strategy and branding. Sessions such as Dragon's Pit, Fiscal Flash and Brand Bang challenged participants to apply creativity and critical thinking to real-world problems.

The opening two days were hosted at Compass Education, the venue and knowledge partner, while the final day was held at Krishibari Estates with a closing ceremony that combined networking and celebrations.

The IGAC leadership team, including President Al Rashidus Sabru Farabi and Conference In-Charge Adiba Hossain, guided the event alongside Director General Raiyan Abdullah and co-founders Marzia E Jannat and Rezwan Rashid.

The gathering attracted a wide range of corporate and media support, with educational foundations, radio channels, beverage companies and fashion brands among those lending their backing. Media houses including ATN Bangla, Dhaka Chronicles and The Daily Star also partnered with the event.

Special guest Namia Mursalin Marusha, Global Lead of PR and Communications at NEXT Ventures, addressed the participants and shared insights from industry practice.

Organisers said the conference reinforced IGAC's goal of connecting students with professionals and encouraging young people to step into leadership roles through practical, hands-on experiences.
