The Women in Management, Business and Public Service (WIMBIZ) organisation has concluded plans to host its 24th annual conference, scheduled to take place from November 6 to 7, in Lagos.

Themed, “O.W.N – Own. Walk. Nurture,” the Conference is designed to inspire women to take ownership of their leadership journey and empower the next generation.

According to WIMBIZ executive director, Omowunmi Akingbohungbe, the theme reflects the organisation’s commitment to promoting leadership, resilience and community values, among women.

The conference is expected to attract over 2,000 women leaders, entrepreneurs and professionals from across Africa and beyond. The event will feature keynote speeches, panel discussions and networking opportunities aimed at empowering women to lead with confidence and create lasting impact.

Akingbohungbe noted that the theme reflects the organisation’s commitment to inspiring women to take ownership of their journey, walk with purpose and authenticity and nurture the next generation of leaders. “It captures the essence of leadership, resilience and community core values that continue to define the WIMBIZ movement.

“As one of Africa’s largest gatherings of women in leadership, the WIMBIZ annual conference has consistently sparked important conversations and driven positive change.

“At WIMBIZ, we believe that women have the power to shape economies, societies and futures. This year’s theme is a clarion call for women to embrace their power, walk their path with courage and nurture others along the way. It is about building legacy, influence, and a lasting community.

Registration for the conference is now open, offering an opportunity for women to connect, learn and grow in their leadership journey.
