The future of Africa’s blockchain landscape is undeniably female, and the upcoming Women in DeFi Summit 2025 is set to be a defining moment. Scheduled to take place on Saturday, April 26, at Eden Hall in Lekki, Lagos, this one-day summit is designed to bring together an inspiring mix of African women who are building, innovating, and reshaping the Web3 space.

Themed “Building Bridges: Connecting Women, Inspiring Innovation,” the summit addresses a growing need for community and collaboration among women in blockchain, DeFi, and the broader Web3 industry. From developers and founders to creatives and crypto-curious professionals, Women in DeFi Summit is where authentic connections will meet actionable conversations and real opportunities.

According to the summit’s founder, Sarah Idahosa, the event is more than a conference, it’s a launchpad. “This isn’t just a summit. It’s a launchpad for careers, collaborations, and confidence in tech,” she said. With limited representation and fragmented access to resources in the Web3 space, the summit aims to close that gap by offering a space where women can learn, grow, and lead together.

Attendees can expect a vibrant day of keynote addresses and panel discussions featuring some of the continent’s top Web3 professionals. The summit also includes high-value experiences such as CV reviews, career coaching sessions, and networking opportunities with investors, founders, and recruiters. The Women in DeFi Scholarship will award laptops to selected participants to support emerging talent, further supporting their tech journeys.

Tickets for the event are available in two tiers: the Baddie Ticket, priced at ₦5,000, grants full access to all sessions, panels, and networking events, while the Corporate Baddie Ticket, at ₦7,000, includes additional career perks such as VIP networking access and professional CV reviews.

The summit promises to be a vibrant, empowering space. One that feels like your favorite group chat brought to life, blending real talk, real tools, and real career glow-ups. Whether you’re writing your first line of code or launching your next venture, the Women in DeFi Summit 2025 offers something transformative for every woman ready to take her place in the Web3 revolution.
