What a remarkable evening at the BOLD PepTalk Series Session One!

Today marked far more than an event at Bengal Inn,Dhaka—it marked the beginning of an important conversation about positioning Bangladesh’s Learning & Development industry on the global stage.

The inaugural edition of the BOLD PepTalk Series, “Where Is My Foreign Training?”, brought together an inspiring community of trainers, facilitators, coaches, consultants, and L&D professionals, all eager to explore international opportunities.

A sincere thank you to our distinguished speakers, Ghulam Sumdany Don and Sadique Salim, for sharing their inspiring journeys, practical insights, and invaluable experiences. Their practical stories—from humble beginnings to building successful international training careers—along with an engaging Q&A session, reinforced a powerful message: global opportunities become attainable through competence, credibility, and consistency.

Our heartfelt appreciation goes to Shamima Begum Ratna, President of BOLD, for her vision of seeing Bangladeshi trainers recognized and sought after worldwide. Special thanks also to Quazi M Ahmed, Founder President and Secretary General of BOLD Kazi Rakibuddin Ahmed for leading this pioneering initiative and making this first-of-its-kind event in Bangladesh a reality.

Thank you to everyone who joined us—this is just the beginning of many more inspiring conversations that will help take Bangladeshi learning professionals beyond borders.

⏰ Last Call!

Not a BOLD member yet? Or haven't renewed your membership? Don't worry—you can still join tomorrow's event!

Here's how it works:

✅ Current BOLD Members: Pay BDT 300 as a seat confirmation token. This amount will be adjusted against your membership renewal fee. So, if your renewal fee is BDT 4,000, you'll only need to pay BDT 3,700 later.

✅ Not a Member Yet? Join tomorrow's event by paying BDT 1,000. If you decide to become a BOLD member afterward, this BDT 1,000 will be adjusted against your membership fee. So, instead of BDT 5,000, you'll only need to pay BDT 4,000.

We are committed to making sure you receive real value from your BOLD membership. The token amount is simply to confirm your seat and help us avoid vacant seats due to last-minute cancellations.

Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow!
