The event aimed to reunite members from various cohorts since its inception in 2013, fostering an environment of entrepreneurship and collaboration for both business and personal growth.

With the theme ‘Entrepreneurship and Collaboration for Business and Personal Growth,’ the event inspired attendees to explore new opportunities and forge meaningful connections. Founder Toki Mabogunje’s passion for entrepreneurship was evident as the event kicked off with opening remarks by Secretary Gladys Igbekele, setting a tone of enthusiasm and camaraderie.

A highlight of the event was the engaging panel session featuring distinguished members of the Chamber and alumni of the programme, including Ajani Oluwatoyin, Seyi Abolaji, Abosede Yinka-Ogundimu, Queen Akinyoyenu, and Olaide Shoetan.
