LAGOS, Nigeria – Freelancers and digital hustlers, mark your calendars: Gigbanc is hosting Gigconnect 2025, a free one-day fun and value-packed event with networking, expert talks, and real opportunities to level up your global game. Set for Saturday, October 25, from 10 a.m., at Zone Tech’s Ruby Hall, the gathering targets remote workers, content creators, tech talents, and entrepreneurs ready to turn local skills into international paydays.
With Africa’s gig economy projected to reach a $65 billion valuation by 2025, Gigconnect 2025 highlights the tools and connections needed to make it happen. Highlights include two powerhouse panels, one on mastering skills for global success, covering monetisation and cross-border payments, and another on how African talents can compete for dollar gigs. Additionally, a keynote speech will explore the role of technology in digital work and financial inclusion, followed by hands-on masterclasses on landing high-paying clients, personal branding, and smart investing for independent professionals.
Attendees can pitch their hustles in the 60-second Gig Hustle Challenge for cash prizes and mentorship, plus speed networking rounds to match freelancers with businesses. Fun breaks feature music, comedy entertainment, games like trivia and meme contests, and cash giveaways. The day wraps with announcements for Gigbanc’s Global Talent Fellowship winners and an optional after-party till 6:30 p.m.
