Explore the competitions, workshops, outreach programmes and society experiences organised by LES throughout the academic year.
LES organises events throughout the Fall and Spring semesters. Many begin as initiatives of one of our four projects and are delivered in collaboration with stakeholder departments responsible for areas such as events, finance, operations, outreach, marketing, media and technology. Others are society-wide initiatives focused on recruitment, member development or community-building.
Participation differs across the calendar. Some events are open to the wider LUMS student body, while national competitions and programmes welcome students from schools and universities across Pakistan. Internal events are reserved for members of the LES General Body, giving them opportunities to learn, collaborate and build relationships beyond their usual teams.
Eligibility, registration requirements and event formats may change between editions. Current details will be included with each event announcement.
The flagship event of LES. The multi-day summit brings school and college students together for entrepreneurial competitions, workshops, speaker sessions, networking opportunities and social events. Delegates move through challenging rounds that test creativity, strategy, financial understanding and teamwork while connecting with participants from institutions across Pakistan.
Society Fair introduces LES to the wider LUMS student body at the beginning of the academic year. Freshmen can meet current members, learn about the society’s projects and departments, and understand how recruitment works.
Orientation is the first detailed introduction to LES for prospective managers. It explains the society’s purpose, annual initiatives, departmental structure and member experience while presenting the more social side of its culture.
Induction welcomes newly recruited managers and helps them build connections across departments. The two-day experience combines entrepreneurial challenges, team activities, an alumni discussion, interactive games and a department reveal.
