A year ago, I moved away from my comfort zone, away from my friends and loved ones to the UK. This was barely 4years from when I first woke up and told my mum I was moving to Lagos. I moved to the UK not knowing exactly what the chapter would look like, but i trusted the leap and this past year has given me so much back; community, growth, joy, friendship that feels like family. I’ve learnt so much since I made this move. So much about myself and how I approach life in general. I’ve grown in ways i didn’t expect. I see beauty differently, I love more intentionally, I appreciate everything more; the little things, the quiet moments, the people who chose me. I came here at a time I wasn’t feeling my best because I was down mentally, but my girls, my sweet, incredible girlfriends who became my backbone before i even found my footing here, I love you more than words. You turned a new country into a soft place to land. I wouldn’t trade this chapter of my life for anything. 🤭

I closed 3 major deals as a result of an event I attended last year 😌 It’s one thing to attend a high profile event in your niche, take pictures and show you were there, it’s a totally different thing from being able to close deals, or for that event to have a positive life changing impact on your career. September last year, I attended the Africa Money & DeFi Summit - Accra Sept 24&25 2025 and thanks to the event, i met a lot of thought leaders in the industry (Web2 and Web3 incisive). I was opportune to be a speaker at that event, and while I made the most off my 20mins on that stage, I even got more opportunities during the 15hours I spent outside the stage. This same event will be happening 3rd & 4th of October this year, and I realized some people from here will also be attending. Here are some tips I followed that helped me yield good results from attending the event. These tips can also be applied to other tech events. ————— 1. Research and Plan Ahead: I was able to familiarize myself with the event schedule, speakers and exhibitors. Africa Money & DeFi Summit - Accra Sept 24&25 2025 always share this info with everyone who registers for the event at least 1week before the event. Thanks to this, I was able to check out some of the speakers on LinkedIn, and even scheduled meetings with a lot of them before hand. ————— 2. Network Strategically: Prepare your elevator pitch, and also have your business cards ready. For every person that reached out to me, or people I reached out to during the event, I was able to hold conversations with genuine interest in their work and was always willing to share what I do. ————— 3. Stay Informed: Keep up-to-date with industry news and trends. This always help when you engage in meaning discussions with fellow attendees. As you can see on the short clip attached to this tweet, I was talking about Real Yield, and this was just before it officially became a buzz in the DeFi Space. I used the info as well as others to helped lock down conversations. ————— 4. Dress Appropriately: Always aim for professional attire for events like these. People who attend these events come there to do business, so you’ll always find them dressed professionally. The 2 images I attached to this post are from the 2days of the event, I’m sure you can see how professionally dressed I was. It’s better to be slightly overdressed than underdressed. ————— 5. Engage in Q&A Sessions: Don’t hesitate to ask questions during talks or presentations. It demonstrates your interest and can lead to insightful discussions. By insightful discussions, I mean discussions after the session or even after the event. Conversations can easily start as a result of the question you asked, so take a chance on it. ————— To keep this tweet short, I’ll be stopping here but will drop my other tips as a part 2 for this. If you learnt something from the above tips, or saw one you’d like to implement on your next event, do well to tell me on the comment section 👇🏽 Don’t forget to Like 💙and Repost 🔄this post, someone from your audience might need it.
