West Africa Proposer Outreach

The main event will take place after a 30-day marketing campaign once funding is secured and materials have been created.

In this 30-day period, 2+ webinars will be held as introductions, leading to sign-ups for the main event.

Experience & Tools: Our team has extensive experience in delivering training, creating educational material, and hosting online events. We bring expertise from the podcast world, the start-up sphere, and also as corporate training consultants. The tools we intend to use will be a blend of Zoom, Slido and Miro to deliver a highly interactive, highly-impactful virtual event.
