WAY 1 · THE SESSION TRACKS

Learn in the room. Leave with a million.

Each session is both a learning experience and a selection moment. The leader runs it as they see fit, then chooses by their own measure: a skill shown, a business idea, a story that stayed with them.

  1. STEP 1

    Register for your track

    Pick the session in your field. For a masterclass, the masterclass sign-up is your entry. It also registers you for the conference.

  2. STEP 2

    Come to the session in Lagos

    The sessions are in person only, not streamed. Show your ticket at the main entrance on the day, and be in the room for your session.

  3. STEP 3

    The leader picks three

    At the end, the session leader chooses a winner and two runners-up from the people in the room.

  4. STEP 4

    Paid on the spot

    ₦1 million for the winner and ₦250,000 for each runner-up, transferred there and then, with a cheque presented on stage.
