TEDxLagos Is Hosting Its First-Ever TEDxLagos Women Event

For the first time, TEDxLagos is hosting a women’s gathering tagged TEDxLagos Women, themed “Forward.” This event takes place on March 30 in Lagos and will showcase the incredible power of women as creators, innovators, and agents of change.

The “Forward” theme underscores the limitless potential for progress driven by women. While TEDxLagos has consistently featured inspiring women as guests, speakers, and volunteers, TEDxLagos Women is a dedicated initiative that fully embraces women’s empowerment.

LAPO Microfinance Bank joins forces with TEDxLagos to amplify the voices of women and champion their role in building a more inclusive and prosperous future.

TEDxLagos Women acknowledges the ongoing fight for gender equality and women’s empowerment. The event aims to create a space where women can confidently claim their voices, inspire each other, and pave the way for future generations.
