- Connected the roundtable with the wider Nigeria mission.
The series
Culture, networks and enterprise
Diaspora Roundtables is a series led by Dr King SMADE. It brings people into curated conversations connecting culture, diaspora networks, enterprise and practical collaboration. This describes the wider series and its purpose, rather than the outcomes of any one edition.
Nigeria edition
After the other engagements
We hosted a Diaspora Roundtable after the CANEX speaking appearance and the MadHouse and University of Lagos engagement. I helped bring it together as part of the Nigeria mission.
The Nigeria edition is distinct from the Ghana edition described on the series website. Its attendance, venue, themes and outcomes are not carried across to this case study.
My contribution
Keeping the connections moving
My contribution was helping host the roundtable and connecting it with the people and relationships around the wider visit. No attendance total, participant list, agreement or commercial outcome is claimed for the Nigeria edition.
Delivery & evidence
The hosting of the Nigeria roundtable is recorded in the supplied mission brief. The lead photograph documents the wider mission, not the roundtable itself. Dedicated Nigeria roundtable photographs and programme materials have not been supplied.
Impact
The roundtable continued the mission after the other engagements, creating a further setting for diaspora conversation.
My contribution was helping bring the roundtable together within the wider mission.
