Out of Office: Vol 1

​Some rooms ask you to shrink. This one doesn't.

​Out of Office brings together 100+ professionals to talk honestly about career growth, what it actually takes to build economic power, and how to stay whole while doing it. The panel features people who've navigated this terrain. The networking is real instead of performative. The room is full of people who get it.

​The event includes:

• ​Career panel with professionals who've built successful paths on their own terms

• ​Spotlight stories from community members sharing their journeys

• ​Ballroom performances, collaborative art, and a DJ set to close the night

• ​Mentorship matching, job resources, and CV reviews

• ​Food, drinks, and space to breathe

​Who should come?

• ​Professionals navigating corporate Lagos or building remote careers

• ​Creatives and freelancers trying to scale their work

• ​Job seekers who need a network that actually shows up for them

• ​Anyone who's ever wondered how to build a career without erasing themselves
