About the Conference

Not a summit. A working session.

The Global Tech Conference on AI Automation is a two-day virtual event hosted by Entrova, bringing together professionals, entrepreneurs, students, and technology enthusiasts from across Africa.

This is not a theoretical AI summit. Every session is designed around one question: how do you actually put AI to work in your industry, your business, and your career?

From keynote insights to hands-on industry workshops, you will leave with frameworks, tools, and a network you can act on immediately.

Who You're Learning From

People who have the scars to prove it works.

Every speaker at this conference has deployed AI in a real organisation, navigated the failures, and come out the other side with something worth sharing.

DO
Most AI builders are focused on getting something working. But what happens when users start paying?
Daniel Oreofe
Co-Founder & COO, Cencori
Daniel co-built Cencori, a Nigerian startup positioning itself as the security and reliability layer between AI applications and the models running them. He grew it to 200+ users bootstrapped, with no paid marketing — just by being right about a problem most developers were ignoring.

Talk From Data to Decision: How AI is Rewiring Financial Services, Retail, and the Boardroom
ML
You are already using AI. You just haven't decided to use it on purpose yet.
Muhammad Lawal
AltSchool Africa · Known as Binlawwal
Muhammad builds things and talks about it honestly. His focus is the gap between people who understand AI in theory and people who actually ship something with it — and his argument is that the gap is mostly psychological.

Day 2 · The Rooms

Your industry is in here. So is the problem you've been trying to solve.

Each room runs for 65 minutes with two co-host experts and one facilitator. You are not watching a webinar — you are in a working group, building an AI implementation plan for a specific Nigerian business scenario alongside people from your sector.
