The Connectors Code, an emerging leadership and strategic dialogue platform, has announced its Executive Roundtable Series beginning with the Lagos edition scheduled to take place at the Lagos Continental Hotel on December 18.

The closed door gathering will convene senior executives across finance, technology, energy, healthcare, payments and consumer markets to examine the theme “Positioning for Growth in 2026: Scalable Efficiency, Policy Alignment and Capital Management.”

The Roundtable Series arrives at a period when Nigerian organisations are navigating intensified economic pressure, shifting regulatory expectations and the need for more deliberate cross sector collaboration. Analysts note that the year ahead will demand stronger operational discipline, clearer strategic alignment and a renewed focus on resilience across institutions. The Connectors Code aims to offer a forum where these issues can be interrogated through collective intelligence rather than siloed decision making.

Confirmed participants include senior leaders from Access Bank Private Banking, KPMG, EY, Danone, Shell Energies, Novac Payment Solutions, BRB Capital, Ridgecrest Medical Group, KS Legal and Crello Global, alongside delegates with academic roots from London Business School, Harvard Business School and Lagos Business School. Sessions will explore monetary and fiscal alignment, enterprise efficiency, tax evolution, capital flow management and the implications of artificial intelligence for business models in emerging markets.

The Roundtable is structured as an interactive peer exchange rather than a conventional conference. Short expert insights will be followed by facilitated dialogue allowing participants to compare experiences, test assumptions with strategic SMEs in room and evaluate the forces shaping 2026 from multiple viewpoints.

The platform was founded by Nkem Igwe, an award winning global strategist recognised for her work at the intersection of business performance, technology transformation and modern leadership development. Her work with The Connectors Code explores how leaders navigate complexity, build collaborative intelligence and position their organisations for long term value in an increasingly technology driven economy.

Speaking ahead of the event, Igwe said: “In this era of accelerated change, no leader can rely on expertise alone. Modern leadership is strengthened by peer intelligence, the ability to sit with other decision makers, exchange perspectives and refine judgment. This Roundtable was created as a space where leaders can step outside the noise, interrogate the shifts shaping 2026 and sharpen the clarity required for decisions that endure.”

The Lagos edition marks the first in a series of Roundtables planned across key cities with forthcoming sessions expected to examine digital transformation, capital strategy, human capability development, diaspora engagement and Africa’s position within a changing global economic order.
Further details about The Connectors Code Roundtable Series will be announced in the coming months.
