On October 15, a special consultation meeting was held at a hotel in the capital with partner organisations to organise the ICT Olympiad Bangladesh Season 2 successfully. 

In this meeting, discussions were held with various partner organisations of the ICT Olympiad, focusing on the success and plans for Season 2.

Additionally, formal agreements with different institutions were signed.

In this era of technology, relying solely on institutional education is not sufficient to build a successful career. Proficiency in ICT is essential for a successful career. As technology usage increases in every field globally, acquiring knowledge of technology and ICT is extremely important.

The ICT Olympiad is working towards this goal—building a skilled workforce for the next generation. Through this Olympiad, ICT knowledge is being disseminated to the grassroots level, enabling every student to be informed about various aspects of ICT and enhancing their talent and skills.

To provide complete information about the ICT Olympiad and its activities to students, various courses and content are being created. Each content will include modern teaching methods and real-life examples, helping students and mentors to apply ICT knowledge in real life. 

By participating in these courses, students will gain not only theoretical knowledge but also practical skills, significantly impacting their future careers. Courses on Cyber Security, Blockchain, Robotics, Emotional Intelligence, and Communication Skills are already being offered for free to mentors and students from partner organisations.

The ICT Olympiad Bangladesh, as the organiser of this meetup, is working as a leading promoter of technology education in the country, aiming to enhance national technological knowledge and innovative capabilities.

Participating partners discussed the current state of the ICT Olympiad Bangladesh, evaluated previous activities, and detailed future strategic plans. 

Alongside the discussions, there were also exchanges on how to expand the competition on a larger scale.

The main attraction of the event was the signing ceremony, where formal agreements were signed between ICT Olympiad Bangladesh and its various partners. Through these agreements, partner organisations committed to their involvement and support in various activities of the Olympiad. 

Participants in the signing ceremony clarified their future cooperation and discussed how they could contribute to making the Olympiad more enriched and successful.

The initial partner organisations signing the agreements included NexKraft, IMBD, Kidzoo, Octagram, Fervent Pathshala, PSO, Shohoj Coding, Koli Prokashoni, Business In Bangladesh, Rentamo, Mindshaper, Dainik Shiksha, NexFly, Edvoy, Stellar's Chamber, Kids Code, Dark Kak, The Bizman Magazine, TNN, SSi, LivLux, Aamar Pay, GEF, CTC, NexAcademy, Whistle, Teen Saver, Medistore.

Special guests at the event shared their opinions and provided important guidance to position the ICT Olympiad Bangladesh as a national-level influential educational initiative.
