Youth Connect 2026: The Playbook Nobody Gave Gen Z

TL;DR

  • Youth Connect 2026 is happening on 22 August at IQI HQ, Millerz Square, Kuala Lumpur.
  • One day of keynotes, panels and workshops on AI, content marketing and entrepreneurship for Malaysians aged 18 to 35.
  • Speakers include a 1.55M+ follower creator, an AI video CEO, and young Malaysians who built real income streams.
  • Only 100 seats. Student tickets from RM30, public from RM50 (early bird). You walk away with an AI prompt library, a 21-day growth plan, and actual connections.

Let’s Be Honest: The Old Playbook Is Dead

You did everything right. Got the scroll, got the cert, maybe even got the degree.

And then you looked at the job market and thought: “Wait, that’s it?”

Starting salaries are flat. AI is eating entry-level roles for breakfast. The gig economy sounds like freedom but pays like a trap. Nobody told us the rules changed while we were still studying them.

If that hits close to home, you’re not dramatic. You’re paying attention.

That frustration is exactly why Youth Connect 2026 exists.

What Even Is Youth Connect?

Youth Connect is IQI’s platform for young Malaysians who want to actually build something, not just scroll through motivational posts about it.

On 22 August 2026, 100 people aged 18 to 35 are coming together at IQI HQ in KL for a full day of keynotes, live demos and real talk about three things that matter right now: AI, marketing and entrepreneurship.

This is not a corporate seminar where someone reads off slides for four hours. It is built for the way our generation learns: fast, practical, no fluff.

Why Should You Actually Care?

Because right now there is a gap between knowing AI exists and knowing how to use it to get paid. Youth Connect bridges that gap in one day.

Here is what is actually on the agenda:

AI as Your Unfair Advantage

Daniel Ho, Co-Founder of IQI Global, opens the day with a reality check: the next generation wins, but only if they move now. Not next year. Now.

Then Dave Chong, CEO of DJC AI, shows you how One Person, One AI Team: How Agentic AI Changes the Way We Work. Yes, for real.

Content That Actually Grows Your Following

Aaron Siow gained 2,000 followers in 30 days using a system, not luck. He is sharing the exact framework with a live Claude AI demo so you can replicate it.

Bryan Low he built an audience of 1.55M+ followers and 150M+ views across platforms. Co-founded Content Creation Academy, a 7-figure content agency, and scaled 50 brands through personal branding. Has spoken to over 10,000 people across Malaysia’s biggest stages.

Real Stories From People Our Age

The panel features Le Ann Lai (150K+ followers, trained 300+ entrepreneurs), Hannah Teh (IQI’s social media lead), and is moderated by Jasmine Yap. Three young Malaysians on using AI to get ahead in very different career paths.

No rehearsed corporate stories. Just “here’s what I did, here’s what worked, here’s what I’d skip.”

Thinking about building a real income stream, not just another side gig?

The Real Flex: Who You’ll Meet

Here is the thing nobody talks about: the connections matter more than the content.

100 driven young Malaysians in one room. IQI mentors. Industry leaders. People who are actually building, not just tweeting about it. That network does not exist on LinkedIn. It exists in the room.

Lunch, a networking high-tea, and the connect sessions are built into the day so you are not awkwardly hovering around the coffee machine hoping someone talks to you.
