The Institute of Change Management (ICM) is set to hold its 2026 Annual Conference from September 3 to 4 at NECA House, Alausa, Ikeja, Lagos.
The two-day conference, scheduled for 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily, is themed: “Unleashing Change: Accelerating Impact — Harnessing Transformation for Personal Growth and Business Excellence.”
The Group Managing Director of Sahara Group, Mr Kola Adesina, will deliver the keynote address, setting the tone for discussions on leadership, innovation, organisational transformation and the capacity of individuals and businesses to thrive amid rapid change.
Other confirmed speakers and panellists include the Managing Director of Africa Prudential Plc, Dr Catherine Nwosu; immediate past President of the Chartered Institute of Taxation of Nigeria, Barrister Samuel Olushola Agbeluyi; Managing Director of Jeme Technologies, Mr Jeremiah Okoh; and Director of Financial Services at the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, Dr Odunayo Ani.

The conference is expected to draw participants from the public and private sectors and will examine how leaders and organisations can move beyond awareness to action, build ownership of change initiatives, overcome resistance and translate transformation into measurable results.
Participants will also gain practical frameworks for leading change, strengthening organisational resilience and positioning themselves and their businesses for sustainable growth.
The organisers said the programme would provide a valuable platform for executives, entrepreneurs, professionals, policymakers, change practitioners and emerging leaders to learn from accomplished industry figures, exchange ideas and build productive networks.
With only a few days to the conference and seats filling rapidly, prospective participants have been urged to complete their registration without delay.
