Segun Ogunsanya, Moji Meranda, Sarah Sosan, Godrey Ogbechie, Others Lead Dialogue At Imperfectly Awesome Conversations Summit 4.0

The fourth edition of the Imperfectly Awesome Conversations Summit is set to take centre stage on Sunday, May 3, 2026, at the MUSON Centre, Lagos.

Building on the growing momentum of previous editions, this year’s summit signals a deliberate and powerful shift from inspiration to activation with a structured intervention aimed at reshaping how individuals navigate identity, adversity, and personal growth in an increasingly demanding world.

Accordingly, IAC 4.0 is positioned as a catalytic platform designed to challenge existing narratives, provoke deeper thinking, and ultimately drive a new paradigm across leadership, personal development, and the broader communications ecosystem.

Convened by renowned marketing and communications leader Omotola Bamigbaiye, the Imperfectly Awesome movement has steadily evolved from a deeply personal literary expression into a dynamic, living experience.

Initially birthed through her book, Imperfectly Awesome, the initiative has, over time, transformed into an influential annual convergence where authenticity takes precedence and real-life journeys redefine success.

By centering the message of “being enough,” the summit challenges limiting narratives that hinder innovation, leadership, and inclusive progress.

The summit will deliver two high-impact panel sessions: Resilience & Tenacity — examining how individuals and organisations can sustain performance and purpose amid disruption, and Authenticity: Embracing Your Whole Self — exploring the role of self-awareness and identity in effective leadership and lived experience.

Additionally, a maiden edition of the IAC awards will recognise and spotlight individuals and organisations whose journeys exemplify courage, consistency, and meaningful societal impact.

As anticipation intensifies, attention increasingly turns to the calibre of speakers confirmed for this year’s edition. These are individuals whose personal and professional trajectories reflect resilience, leadership, and transformative impact.

Leading the conversation will be Dr Segun Ogunsanya, Chairman Airtel Africa Foundation and Mrs Godrey Ogbechie, Group Executive Director, Rain Oil Limited.

Additionally, Hon Mojisola Meranda, Deputy Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly; Moremi Ojudu, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Community Engagement (South-West); O’tega Ogra, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Digital Engagement and New Media, Dr Folayinka Dania, Chief Resilience Officer for Lagos State and CEO of the Lagos State Resilience Office; Princess Sarah Sosan, Former Deputy Governor of Lagos Sate and others whose presence is expected to bring strong perspectives on governance, inclusion, and purposeful leadership.

Furthermore, panelists will offer critical insights into grassroots connection, deepen discussions around adaptability, systems thinking, sustainable leadership in uncertain environments.

Citizen engagement, and the power of community-driven change.
Collectively, these speakers will not only share success stories; rather, they will unpack the realities behind those successes, moments of doubt, setbacks, recalibration, and eventual triumph. Consequently, attendees will engage with narratives that are honest, unfiltered, and deeply human, thereby reinforcing the summit’s core philosophy, which is, that imperfection, when embraced, becomes a powerful driver of growth.

Moreover, the 2026 edition introduces a sharpened thematic focus centred on courage over comfort, consistency over perfection, and action over Fear.

Through this lens, the summit will actively encourage participants to move beyond passive inspiration and instead adopt deliberate, actionable mindsets capable of reshaping both personal and professional trajectories.
