Monica Joins Wetech 2026 as Women in Tech Take Their Place in the Power Shift
Technology is changing. Capital is moving. New industries are taking shape. And at Wetech 2026, women will not simply be watching the shift happen. They will be in the room shaping it.
Something Is Shifting in Lagos
There are conferences you attend to listen.
There are conferences you attend to network.
And then there are conferences that make you realise you are standing inside a much bigger conversation.
Wetech Conference 2026 is shaping up to be one of those moments.
On September 26, more than 2,500 women from across Africa’s technology ecosystem are expected at Landmark Event Centre in Victoria Island, Lagos, for The Power Shift, this year’s Wetech flagship conference.
The idea behind the theme is simple but significant: women are not waiting for permission to participate in the future of technology. They are building companies, leading teams, raising capital, developing products, creating communities and increasingly influencing the systems that determine where technology goes next.
And Monica will be there as a Gold Sponsor.
Why This Conversation Matters
For years, conversations about women in technology have often focused on access.
How do more women enter the industry?
How do they learn the skills?
How do they find mentors?
How do they get their first opportunity?
Those questions still matter.
But the conversation is changing.
The question is increasingly becoming: what happens when women have access and begin to shape what comes next?
That is the territory Wetech 2026 is entering.
The conference will explore the intersection of AI, capital, leadership, careers and innovation, bringing founders, professionals, investors, hiring organisations, ecosystem leaders and emerging talent into the same room.
That makes the event bigger than a technology conference.
It becomes a meeting point for people building the future and people trying to understand where that future is going.
From AI to Capital, the Conversations Are Getting Bigger
The programme reflects that ambition.
The day begins with conversations around women at the helm of AI, capital and the future of innovation in Africa before moving into practical discussions about breaking into AI and emerging technologies.
Later sessions will explore what it takes to build, fund and scale as a founder in Africa.
There will also be a major conversation around Africa’s AI moment, looking at infrastructure, partnerships, talent and what the continent needs to build if it wants to compete meaningfully in the next decade.
Another session will look at how national and global policy decisions affect women’s access to education, entrepreneurship, funding and opportunity.
And then comes PitchHer 2026, putting women building the future directly in the spotlight.
This is important because technology does not exist in isolation.
AI needs talent.
Talent needs opportunity.
Businesses need capital.
Capital needs ideas worth backing.
Ideas need people willing to build them.
And all of those things need ecosystems where people can meet, exchange knowledge and create something bigger than what they could have built alone.
Where Monica Fits In
For Monica, being part of Wetech 2026 is about more than putting a logo on a conference backdrop.
It is about being present in a conversation that aligns closely with the world Monica operates in.
Finance is changing.
Technology is changing.
The way people earn, receive, move and use money is changing too.
A woman building a technology company may have clients across three countries. A developer may be paid from another continent. A creator may work with an international brand. A freelancer may receive payment in crypto and need to turn that digital value into Naira.
The distance between earning money and being able to use it is becoming increasingly digital.
That is part of the reason conversations around technology and financial access matter to Monica.
Monica converts supported crypto to Naira, giving users a direct route from digital assets to their Nigerian bank accounts.
And at Wetech, the conversation will extend beyond what technology can do today to what women are building for tomorrow.
The Room Is Bigger Than the Stage
One of the most valuable parts of a conference like Wetech may not happen under the spotlight.
It may happen between sessions.
At a coffee table.
During a conversation with someone you have never met.
At an exhibition stand.
In a conversation that begins with, “What do you do?”
The official programme includes networking, partner exhibitions, live hiring opportunities and experience zones designed to create connections beyond the stage.
That matters because opportunity does not always arrive looking like an opportunity.
Sometimes it looks like a conversation.
Sometimes it looks like a new contact.
Sometimes it is a founder discovering a potential investor.
A professional meeting someone who knows about the role she has been looking for.
A young woman finding the community that makes her realise she is not building alone.
That is the kind of possibility a room filled with thousands of women can create.
And Yes, You Can Still Get There
There has been some conversation around Wetech 2026 falling on the last Saturday of the month, which coincides with Lagos’ monthly environmental sanitation exercise.
The Lagos State Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, has clarified that there is no restriction on movement during the monthly sanitation exercise and that the exercise does not authorise a ban on residents travelling.
So if you have been wondering whether you can make it to Landmark Centre, the answer is yes.
Wetech has advised attendees to plan their journey early, with the conference scheduled to begin at 8:00 a.m.
And considering the size of the programme, arriving early may be worth it.
What to Expect at Wetech 2026
The conference is designed as a full-day experience.
More than 2,500 attendees are expected.
More than 30 speakers are listed.
There will be panels, keynotes, networking opportunities, exhibitions and conversations around the future of work, technology, funding and leadership.
But the numbers are only part of the story.
The real value will be in the people behind them.
Women building.
Women hiring.
Women investing.
Women learning.
Women leading.
Women figuring things out and sharing what they have learned with the next person coming behind them.
That is where the power shift becomes real.
Monica Will Be in the Room
As a Gold Sponsor, Monica is proud to support a platform creating space for women to connect with the opportunities shaping the next chapter of technology in Africa.
The future of technology will not be built by one company, one industry or one group of people.
It will be built through conversations.
Through access.
Through capital.
Through ideas.
Through people willing to show up and participate.
Wetech 2026 is creating the room.
Monica will be there.
And if you are building, learning, leading or simply trying to understand where your place is in the future of technology, this is a room worth entering.
The Power Shift Is Already Happening
There is something powerful about watching a conversation evolve.
Yesterday, the question was whether women belonged in technology.
Today, women are building the companies, leading the teams, creating the products and shaping the policies.
The question now is what they will build next.
On September 26, Wetech 2026 will bring that question to Landmark Centre in Lagos.
Theme: The Power Shift
The room will be full of women making that shift visible.
And Monica is proud to be part of it.
