DCC Business Connect, the business fellowship arm of David’s Christian Centre International (DCC) annual event is here again.
Excellerate! Business Summit, consists of a conference, discount fair and lots more. It is a thought-provoking event that boasts of over 2000 enterprising entrepreneurs (in person and via our online channels) from several walks of life. The event is poised to equip
entrepreneurs and
aspiring entrepreneurs with winning strategies from kingdom giants making impacts in the business space.
The amplified attractiveness of the entrepreneurial space has resulted in an exponential increase of entrepreneurs, with well over 34 million SMEs in Nigeria contributing at different levels of the value chain to economic development. A
quantum leap is required to launch these brands from being ‘local champions’ to ‘global leaders’ and it is imperative that the church heralds this transition.
With a vision to pioneer global brands, increase the competitive and innovative capacity of participants in their various industries (amidst fierce red ocean competition), as well as advance the kingdom of God in the marketplace, Excellerate! Business Summit 2016 is the place to be for every entrepreneur, business mogul, and career-inclined persons.
The Excellerate! Business Summit has in the past had its platform graced by vibrant personalities like Dr Cosmos Maduka of Coscharis Group, Dr Victor Mbanisi of Banex Group, Jason Njoku of Iroko TV, Funke Bucknor Obruthe of Zapphire Events, David Eweje of David Wej, Tomi Davies of African Business Angel Network (ABAN), amongst others.
As proven over the years, this year’s conference is set to be bigger and better. The 4
th edition of the Excellerate! Business Summit is tagged ‘EXPLOSSIBILITIES’ and is slated to include a series of conferences with seasoned speakers from various industries.
Friday conference begins with a session to be facilitated by two of our guest speakers Dr Emerie Agunwah and Mr Obafemi Banigbe, and Saturday’s session by Mr Arthur Aliku.
