TechCabal’s Moonshot conference is back on 28 and 29 October, and this year it’s at the National Theatre in Lagos.
If you haven’t been, Moonshot is where a big chunk of the African tech scene shows up in one place: founders, investors, policy people, operators and a growing number of marketers who’ve worked out that this is where their next clients are.
The timing is good. TechCabal’s own data released this week shows Nigeria led African startup funding for the first nine months of 2026 with $624 million. Many of those companies will be in the room, planning what to do with that money next year.
The venue is a nice touch too. The National Theatre has had a long and complicated history, and seeing it full of people building the next generation of Nigerian companies feels right.
A few tips if you’re going. Book your ride early, because Lagos traffic around Iganmu on a weekday doesn’t forgive anyone. Bring fewer business cards and more questions. The best conversations at events like this happen in the corridors, not on stage.
Going, or speaking? Tell us through the Submit a Story page. We’d like to hear what you’re launching.
