The Future (Pre-Awards) Conference 2009 – Register Now

Posted by eventarcade On January - 12 - 2009

So, everytime there is a conference – you hear the speakers teach, admonish, advise, inspire..

Every year there is the awards, you see the winners – they inspire, they motivate, they are role models…

But then how about YOU? You must wonder: isn’t it about time that you moved from watching and listening to being?!How did these guys do it? What kind of support did they get? Is that support available in today’s Nigeria? Is it as easy as it looks? All the advices they give – are they practical? How can one move from watching and listening to actually being like these role models?

At this conference, young people will finally have the opportunity to stop being lectured this time around, but to ask the hard questions from some of Nigeria’s most successful, most respected, and most admired old and young achievers!

They will NOT be lecturing you. YOU will be asking them questions all the questions you’ve always wanted to ask.

You’ve never been at a conference this real, and this practical before.

It’s time to stop talking. Let’s start DOING!
