The SME Economy Conference – Focus On Innovation

As the summer of 2016 winds down, Emvirtue will debut its SME ECONOMY CONFERENCE/Exhibition on the 17th of September. Themed, “Impact For Nation Building “. The exhibition part of the conference will be the biggest SME focused exhibition in 2016.

The SME ECONOMY Conference has been designed to focus on Innovation with100 exhibition spaces for SMEs with creative and innovative products and services. This has been deliberately focused because of the believe by the organizers that Africa will only emerge from its third world status through the oxygenization of young business startups and entrepreneurs to create innovation.
The goal is to provide a significant platform where African entrepreneurs can be empowered to up-scale their operations, expand income generation channels, get trained, get mentored and get out of poverty. We will provide a platform for knowledge sharing and networking, bringing together reputable companies and brilliant minds which are set to transform lives in Nigeria, Africa and the world at large.
Nigeria has to be the country to lead the #InnovateAfica campaign for all of the reasons that have become obvious even to the blind. It is based on that knowledge that Emvirtue is leading the advocacy to empower entrepreneurs through Government Intervention, Private Sector Participation, and Media Engagement.

The SME ECONOMY CONFERENCE/Exhibition intends to shoot out these three gaps and help create a system that works. Entrepreneurs can very well take advantage of this platform and get out there to the big market.

Event: Join Cobhams Asuquo, James Brendan, others for 'UNMASK: Identity Theft '

“Robbed by Relationships, Mugged by the Mirror, Stolen by Success, Pickpocketed by the Past” – Mike Breaux. 
We live in a world where we are constantly barraged by daunting life variables. Our belief systems have been shaped by the opinions and perspectives sold to us by others. The media especially is the most forceful yet subliminal vehicle of such persuasion.
When the question is asked: Who Are You? What influences your understanding of who you are? What or who is the authority on your knowledge of self? Do you take your life lessons and form your principles through TV Programming? Very many do, I can be too sure of that; or through the lifestyle of a celebrity, an icon, or a mentor? 
Wait a minute, when you make that post on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook and nobody likes, comments or shares it, does it pique you.
Identity Theft is as real as Tuface Idibia is a legend. 
A new group called Chosen Generation, the Youth arm of Grace Assembly is debuting their series of projects with a Flagship event called UNMASK: Identity Theft.
 Guest performing and speaking is the multiple award winning singer, songwriter and producer Cobhams Asuquo whose life story is as compelling as it is inspiring and underscores the complicity of the subject, the renowned fashion designer James Brendan, and  the host. 
Host: Dr. Olufemi Paul
Date : 23rd of April 2016, 
Venue : Yard 158, Oregun by First Bank Bus Stop, Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria. Time: 5PM.
You can be at the event and join the conversation. The issues are real.

Synopsis.
‘Fifty’ captures a few pivotal days in the lives of four Nigeria women at the pinnacle of their careers. Meet Tola, Elizabeth, Maria and Kate four friends forced at midlife to take inventory of their personal lives, while juggling careers and family against the sprawling backdrops of the upper middle-class neighbourhoods of Ikoyi and Victoria Island in Lagos.
Tola is a reality TV star whose marriage to lawyer Kunle never stood a chance thanks to an invidious family secret.
Elizabeth is a celebrated obstetrician whose penchant for younger men has estranged her from her daughter.
Forty-nine year-old Maria has an affair with a married man that results in an unexpected pregnancy and Kate’s battle with a life-threatening illness has plunged her into religious obsession.
