On Saturday, 20th September 2025, I had the privilege of being invited as a speaker at the Nigeria Young Professionals Meet and Greet event. I was placed on the “hot seat” to share insights on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the power of technology in shaping today’s world. It was an engaging moment that brought together passionate young professionals eager to learn, share, and network.
The session sparked deep conversations about the role of AI and how technology can be leveraged across various fields. Many participants wanted to know how they could embrace technology in their professions without losing touch with the human side of work. Others were curious about how AI tools could enhance their skillsets, making them more relevant, competitive, and impactful in their chosen career paths. It was exciting to see the hunger for knowledge and the willingness to adapt to the evolving digital landscape.
Beyond the AI discussion, the event also featured a finance management session, which provided participants with valuable tips on handling personal and professional finances in an ever-changing economy. The combination of tech insights and financial wisdom created a balanced platform for professional growth. To keep the atmosphere lively, fun activities and games were included, ensuring that participants not only learned but also bonded in a relaxed and enjoyable way.
One of the most rewarding aspects of the event was the networking opportunities. I connected with brilliant minds from different industries, all of whom were open to collaboration, innovation, and new possibilities. The energy in the room was contagious, people were exchanging ideas, building new relationships, and discovering opportunities they hadn’t considered before.
At the end of the day, the impact was undeniable. Minds were opened, perspectives shifted, and there was a collective sense of learning, unlearning, and relearning. For me personally, it was both an honor and a memorable experience. One that reinforced the importance of sharing knowledge, building connections, and continuously staying ahead in a world powered by technology. I left the event inspired, grateful, and excited about the amazing people I met and the journeys we will all continue to shape together.
