WimBiz to hold annual conference in November

The future takes the form we give it. Developing a winning strategy sets one ahead in the
long run. This and many more will be the focus for Women in Management, Business and
Public Service (WIMBIZ) as it holds the WIMBIZ 18th Annual Conference on November 7th
and 8th at Eko Hotel & Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos.
The 2-day conference takes place in November every year and is the flagship event of
WIMBIZ that attracted as many as 1600 women in business, management and public service
last year. Starting with a delegate count of just 200 in its first conference in the year 2002,
17 years later, the Annual Conference has solidified its place as a key event bringing together
women from Nigeria’s corporate world.
The WIMBIZ 18th Annual Conference themed “Shaping the Future: Strategizing to Win” will
feature practical sessions designed to equip the women with winning strategies and hands-
on knowledge to take on new challenging roles, explore emerging business opportunities, as
well as build and sustain a successful career in today’s fast-paced world. Relevant topics that
speak to the times and existing situation will be discussed. Delegates will learn how to
develop winning strategies to secure their seat at the table; discover how to collaborate to
win; understand consumer behaviour; reach those who are not on the internet; overcome
trauma and silence shame; rise above the imposter syndrome and much more through each
of the six deep dives and seven plenary sessions. As always, the Annual Conference will be
wrapped up with an engaging debate session closely trailed by our signature after party.
Preceding the Annual Conference on Day One, Thursday, November 7th is the Networking
Breakfast. Participants at this breakfast will learn to make a stellar one-minute elevator
pitch, and then be given an opportunity to practice it while meeting at least ten new people
in a structured speed networking session. It is a business networking event offering
delegates a unique opportunity to meet and connect with influential individuals from diverse
sectors in a bespoke setting.
This year’s Annual Conference will be chaired by former Chief Judge, Federal High Court of
Nigeria, Hon. Justice Rose Ukeje, OFR. In addition to 50 other speakers, we are pleased that
the keynote address will be presented by Fed Swaniker, Co-founder and Trustee African
Leadership Academy.
