Tagged The Herwakening, the much-anticipated event is set to
take centre stage at the impressive Yudala Heights, located at 13, Idowu
Martins, Victoria Island.
Consequently, a high-profile list of guest speakers and
other resource persons has been drawn from top multinationals and other leading
women-owned businesses to deliver key topics, while equally sharing from their
rich experiences. Among the speakers lined up for the day are Ola Williams,
Country Manager (Nigeria & Ghana), Microsoft; Teju Ajani, Managing
Director, Nigeria, Apple Inc; Obis Ora, Founder, Wardrobe Merchant and Dr.
Ebere Njoku, Founder, Wholesome Inspirations.

Coronation Insurance; Chioma Chimere, Coordinating Managing Director, TD

The event will witness the attendance of budding female
entrepreneurs as well as start-ups and Small & Medium business owners. Over
200 female participants are expected to attend physically while many more will
participate in the empowerment session online. Interested participants are
required to register to attend physically or online via the Registration Page: https://tdafrica.com/the-herwakening
Notably, TD Africa has built an annual tradition of
empowering young girls and ladies through its partnership with other tech
brands. The company recently flagged off The HERwakening, a leadership and
empowerment initiative to support female entrepreneurs through quality
trainings, mentorships, business advisory, as well as access to credit
facilities, among others.
As highlighted on its website, TD Africa’s intervention is
driven by global trends which indicate that more women are actively starting up
and leading businesses, even as the company points to a visible increase in
female participation in the male-dominated IT ecosystem. Nevertheless, TD
Africa is convinced that immense untapped opportunities still abound.
Hosted in partnership with leading multinational technology
corporation, Microsoft and foremost financial institution, Access Bank Plc, the
highly anticipated conference promises to be a rewarding and impactful opportunity
for participants as partnerships would be extended to at least 150 women-owned
businesses immediately after the event.
