The CalledOut Session 1.0 – Where Africa’s Future Took Center Stage

If you were lucky enough to be invited to The CalledOut Session 1.0, you’d know it wasn’t your average event. Held on October 26, 2024, at CalledOut Estates Ltd. in Gbagada, Lagos, this first-of-its-kind session was a bold step toward connecting Africa’s young leaders and thinkers under one theme: #“The Future of Africa and The Place of Africans in It.”

 Why Was The CalledOut Session 1.0 Organized?

Africa stands at a crossroads of change, fueled by its youth and an unstoppable spirit for innovation. The CalledOut team saw an opportunity to bridge sectors and open up conversations that would spark progress across industries like tech, politics, music, and education. This wasn’t just about gathering great minds; it was about creating a launchpad for ideas and partnerships that could drive real change. And who better to lead this change than young Africans ready to tackle the continent’s most pressing challenges?

 Event Day Highlights: Moments That Mattered

The event brought together 28 guests from various fields, including the CalledOut team, business associates, clients, and invited representatives from different sectors. As guests arrived, there was an unmistakable buzz of excitement, and the room quickly filled with energy and ambition.

Key Moments:

  • Networking and Conversations: With a warm introduction by hosts Emmanuel Omale and Blessing Abel, attendees were encouraged to meet, connect, and share their stories, building a network beyond business cards.

  • Keynote Speeches: Our CEO, James E. Legend opened the event by sharing CalledOut’s mission to redefine real estate as a force for good. His message was clear: investing in property isn’t just about personal gain — it’s about uplifting communities, creating wealth, and securing the future. This theme set the tone, creating a shared vision and sparking anticipation for the sessions ahead.

  • Engaging Discussions: The real magic happened as attendees joined conversations, each adding fresh perspectives on African development. Whether it was innovation in education, sustainable tech, or the arts’ influence on societal change, the discussions were profound, candid, and eye-opening.

  • Fun and Games: Interjecting with light-hearted moments, the event also featured games that added to the collaborative and friendly atmosphere.

 What’s Next: A Growing Community of Changemakers

The CalledOut Session 1.0 was more than an event—it was the start of a movement. With plans for future sessions and collaborations, we’re thrilled to see how these conversations evolve into tangible projects. Already, four attendees have expressed interest in further partnerships: Daniel for a workstation project at Olabisi Onabanjo University, Peter Magny to explore employee service packages, Emmanuel Adeshina’s curiosity about the referral package, and Eniola Dada’s interest in investment opportunities with CalledOut.
