Speaking at the announcement, Oluwatosin Ajibade, convener of the conference who is also a popular blogger and media entrepreneur, reflected on the journey so far. “When we started in 2015, the media landscape was at a critical juncture. People needed opportunities to learn, grow, network, and find solutions to the challenges facing the industry. Over the years, the impact has been tremendous. The platform has empowered many through our main events, masterclasses, and school debates. This is not just about me or the team; it’s about what we are giving back to the industry. We are proud to contribute to the ongoing transformation and impact in media across Africa.”
