Last year in the room

A night of ideas, people and music

In November 2025, more than sixty business owners spent an evening together in Abuja. They listened to experts, asked questions about their own businesses, met new people, and stayed for the music.

It was kept small on purpose. A room this size lets people actually talk, and that is where most of the value sits.
