3 events you shouldn’t miss this month if you are doing business in Nigeria
2018 kicked off with some buzzing events for the Nigerian business, technology and digital media space. First, Techpoint pulled a great move with its event (Build) in January, which was followed by the Social Media Week (SMW Lagos) in February, attended by all and sundry.
However, there is still more to come in the first quarter (Q1) of 2018. Since the power of events cannot be underestimated, we’ve curated a list of events business owners can benefit from before March 2018 sees its last days.
Without further ado, let’s dig into them.
Youth Enterprise Conference (Akin Alabi)
In Nigeria, Akin Alabi’s name is as renowned as Google is to the world. As a business mogul, Akin has played his hands on numerous online businesses before hitting a goldmine in sports betting via Nairabet — an online sports betting website in Nigeria (now regarded as the largest of its kind).
In the bid to give back to the society, Alabi launched the Youth Enterprise Conference (YEC) in 2016. The goal is to convey together youths and give them the opportunity to hear from entrepreneurs who have successfully built businesses in Nigeria. Since debut, YEC has had recognition throughout the federation.
The third edition holds on March 30, 2018. You could secure yourself a sit slot by visiting the website.
