SAM ADEJO CONVENED AFRICA’S TOP CREATIVE LEADERS AT INSPIRE CONFERENCE 2025 The African creative industry continues to experience growth across sectors such as music, fashion, media, business development, and entrepreneurship, with industry events increasingly serving as platforms for collaboration, networking, and professional development. On November 9, 2025, the second edition of the Inspire Conference was held at the Muson Centre in Lagos, bringing together creatives, entrepreneurs, and professionals from different parts of the industry. The conference was convened by Samuel Adejo Oyiyole, professionally known as Sam Adejo. Since 2020, Sam Adejo has built a strong presence in Christian media and digital content through Evaloaded TV, where he interviewed notable gospel artists including Phil Thompson, Tim Godfrey, Neon Adejo, Onos Ariyo, and Mike Abdul. Evaloaded also gained recognition for its Christian music charts and mixtapes. In 2022, he expanded into podcasting, featuring conversations with influential minds across various industries, while also speaking at conferences such as Lagos Money Week alongside respected industry leaders. His journey has been inspired by renowned leaders including Dan Lok, David Abioye, and Bishop David Oyedepo. The event featured panel sessions, keynote discussions, and presentations focused on topics including talent development, brand growth, finance, business structure, and opportunities within Africa’s evolving creative economy. Among the speakers at the conference was Masterkraft, who discussed the development and international reach of African music. Other speakers included fashion entrepreneur Tijesuni and Fabian George, who spoke on entrepreneurship, investment, and business sustainability within the creative sector. Finance coach Olubori Paul also addressed attendees on financial literacy and wealth management, while event host Forever shared experiences from his career in entertainment and live hosting. During the conference, Sam Adejo stated that the platform was created to provide practical guidance, learning opportunities, and industry access for emerging creatives seeking long-term growth within the African entertainment and business landscape. The 2025 edition recorded attendance from creatives, students, entrepreneurs, and industry stakeholders, reflecting the increasing role of conferences and educational platforms in shaping conversations around Africa’s creative economy.
