US singer Keri Hilson and Angelica Nwandu, founder of The Shade Room, the first independent black-owned media company to cover entertainment and celebrity news, will join thousands of entrepreneurs and world leaders in Lagos, Nigeria for the TEF Forum.

Organized by the Tony Elumelu Foundation, the TEF Forum, to be held on Thursday, October 25, 2018, in Lagos, is the largest gathering of African entrepreneurs and the broader entrepreneurship ecosystem that brings together more than 5,000 entrepreneurs, global investors, leaders from the African public and private sectors and developmental organisations at Lagos Nigeria.

Date: Thursday, October 25, 2018

Location: Federal Palace Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos

Aside from the Founder’s Dialogue, one of the major highlights of the Forum, other speakers will include Dr Awele Elumelu, Chairperson, Avon Healthcare, TEF Trustee and Gavi Champion for Immunisation in Africa; Eleni Giokos, CNNMoney Africa Correspondent and Mayeni Jones, BBC Correspondent.

So far, international and local media – CNN, BBC, CNBC Africa, Africa24, Ebonylife TV, NTA – have partnered with the Tony Elumelu Foundation to share the inspiring story of Africa’s most promising entrepreneurs with the world.

Last year, Angelica Nwandu on her panel on branding and marketing, shared insights on how she built the multimillion-dollar brand, Shade Room, from the ground up.

This year’s forum promises to be just as exciting as guests will have a unique opportunity to listen to global leaders, learn from experts, forge networks and engage policymakers and the private sector together, in a spirit of robust debate and interaction.
