“The theme for TBC 2026 reflects the realities of today’s economic and professional climate and aims to spotlight individuals whose journeys exemplify courage, enterprise, integrity, and transformational impact,” Nwanze stated.
The maiden edition of the conference, held in 2025, recorded significant success, attracting over 2,500 participants drawn from diverse sectors including business, entrepreneurship, policy, the professions, creative industries, and emerging leadership. Organizers say the overwhelming turnout and positive feedback affirmed TBC’s credibility as a national platform for business and leadership development.
The 2026 edition will also feature a special dedicated session for medical practitioners and lawyers, recognizing the growing intersection between professional practice and entrepreneurship in Nigeria’s evolving economy.
The conference is hosted by Mekatrice Group Limited in collaboration with Transformation Christian Centre, and convened by Dr. Kingsley Emeka Oboti, Group Managing Director and CEO of Mekatrice Group Limited and Senior Pastor of Transformation Christian Centre.
Nwanze expressed confidence that the second edition would surpass the success of the first, describing TBC 2026 as “a high-impact convergence of ideas, influence, and insight that will shape conversations around leadership, innovation, entrepreneurship, and career growth across Nigeria and beyond.”
Organizers have encouraged business executives, entrepreneurs, professionals, policymakers, and emerging leaders from across the country to register and take advantage of the networking and knowledge-sharing opportunities the conference offers.
