As we wrap up the year 2024, I find myself reflecting on the key highlights that made this year unforgettable. One of such moments was attending, and having the honor of speaking and moderating a key panel at Moonshot by TechCabal 2024 — one of the biggest tech conferences in Africa, held in the vibrant city of Lagos. Moonshot was really really good! The energy, innovation, and collaboration at the event were truly remarkable. From thought-provoking sessions to connecting with brilliant minds shaping the future of technology, every moment was inspiring. Moderating a panel allowed me to engage in meaningful discussions while learning from other incredible speakers, making the experience even more rewarding. It’s inspiring to see how innovators and stakeholders across the continent keep coming together to tackle challenges and create impactful solutions for the future. A heartfelt thank you to the amazing organizers and the entire TechCabal team who worked tirelessly to make this event a success. I also want to specially thank Olanrewaju Odunowo (CPSP) and Tomiwa Aladekomo for their leadership and their kind partnership, and my team HoaQ for all the support. Looking forward to the next one!
