A Bridge Between Legacy and Momentum
At its core, Prosper Conference is more than just a business forum—it’s a cultural milestone. Vesti, a pioneering migration-infrastructure and fintech firm, describes the event as “bringing legacy and momentum together,” honouring Africa’s storied past while equipping the next generation of pioneers to shape its future.
Olusola Amusan, Co-Founder and CEO of Vesti, emphasised this duality during the press rollout:
“Africa has always been a force in culture, business, and intellect. Yet for too long, African excellence has moved without the spotlight or structure it deserves… Prosper Conference is a strategic and cultural platform to change that”
He further framed the gathering as an opportunity to express gratitude to trailblazers who have paved the way, and to kindle inspiration in the next wave of creators and change-makers
A Two-Day Summit for Global Connection
Scheduled for Thursday and Friday, October 23–24, the Prosper Conference will transform the Landmark Event Centre into a hub of cross-industry exchange. The two-day programme is set to include:
- High-impact keynote conversations with leading voices across finance, technology, culture, policy, and migration.
- Innovation showcases spotlighting cutting-edge ventures and ideas from across the continent.
- An awards ceremony honouring individuals and organisations driving African progress.
- Networking sessions are designed to build lasting partnerships between innovators, capital, and diaspora leaders.
Together, these elements position Prosper Conference as a catalyst for collaboration and impact.
Migration as Strategy, Not Escape
A distinctive thread of the event is its focus on migration, not as a reaction to adversity, but as a strategic pathway for empowerment and global influence. Abimbola Amusan, Co-Founder and COO of Vesti, articulates this vision clearly:
“Our most outstanding greatness often comes when we dare to move into new territories, embrace leadership, and invest back home… equipping migrants and founders to see relocation not just as escape, but as a strategy for impact.”
Vesti positions itself as the connective tissue for this philosophy, building the financial and legal infrastructure needed to support migrants, diaspora communities, and entrepreneurs throughout the world.
Tailored Experiences for Diverse Audiences
Prosper Conference is intentionally designed to appeal to a wide spectrum of stakeholders, creating meaningful touchpoints for each:
- Entrepreneurs & Startups: Access to capital opportunities, mentorship, and global market strategies.
- Investors & Venture Capitalists: Insight into scalable opportunities emerging from Africa’s dynamic sectors.
- Creatives & Cultural Leaders: Platforms to showcase talent and forge international collaborations.
- Policy Architects & Regulators: Spaces to discuss frameworks for migration, fintech, trade, and more.
- Diaspora Changemakers: Forums to strengthen networks and reconnect with Africa’s growth story.
By fostering these horizontal connections, the conference aims to fuel Africa’s economic and cultural revival.
Who’s Behind the Vision?
Vesti Technologies
A global fintech innovator, Vesti builds secure and compliant infrastructure solutions that support migration, cross-border payments, and financial inclusion. With active operations in Africa, North America, Europe, and beyond, its mission is to empower the next billion global migrants with seamless tools and pathways.
The Leadership Team
At the helm are co-founders Olusola and Abimbola Amusan, whose leadership is rooted in a belief that Africa’s diaspora and homegrown innovators can converge to redefine global narratives. Their approach places heritage and innovation in dialogue, not competition.
Why Prosper Conference Matters Now
The timing of the Prosper Conference is far from arbitrary. As Africa’s economic, cultural, and technological portfolios expand, so too does its diaspora influence. Migration is driving a new wave of connectivity, strengthening skills, networks, and capital flow. Prosper Conference is designed to elevate these dynamics, creating a central node for ideas, partnerships, and strategic growth.
For a continent often portrayed through deficit-based narratives, this event represents an act of reclamation: Africa telling its own story of progress, creativity, and leadership on its own terms.
What to Expect at Lagos 2025
Noteworthy highlights include:
- Keynotes & Panels: Thought leaders speaking on fintech, migration, sustainability, creative economies, policy innovation, and more.
- Innovation Floor: Startups and scale-ups exhibiting disruptive solutions.
- Recognition Ceremony: Celebrating trailblazers whose work spans finance, tech, culture, policy, and social impact.
- Facilitated Networking: Curated roundtables designed to connect investors, entrepreneurs, policymakers, and diaspora figures.
- Broad Representation: Speakers and delegates drawn from across Africa, the global diaspora, and multiple sectors.
This structure ensures the Prosper Conference is not only inspirational but also action-oriented.
