Mainstack, a Techstars-backed commerce platform for the digital economy, announced today it will host Moment 2026, a three-day summit bringing together Africa’s creator community with brands and industry leaders. The event runs March 13–15, 2026, at Landmark Event Centre in Lagos.

CEO Ayobami Oyaleke said the summit aims to create a marketplace where African creators can connect with platforms and partners shaping global commerce. “Moment is about institutionalising the room that Africa’s creators deserve—a high-stakes environment where raw creativity meets industrial-scale opportunity,” Oyaleke said.

The event expects to draw over 4,000 creators, 150 brands, and 100 industry figures representing a combined reach of more than 100 million followers across Africa.

Three-Day Format

The summit is structured around three distinct events. Day one features an evening networking event for creators and corporate partners. Day two includes keynotes, masterclasses, and panel discussions on scaling digital businesses. The final day closes with an awards ceremony and dinner honoring leaders in the creator ecosystem, organized by Project Manager Adeola Adeniran.

Programming and Speakers

Content programming covers six areas: Content & Storytelling, Creativity & Expression, Digital Entrepreneurship, Exponential Tech & Gaming, Business Growth, and Policy & Governance.

Confirmed speakers include tech creator Fisayo Fosudo, content strategist Salem King, creator Miss Techy, brand storyteller Bolaji Ajibare, musician MI Abaga, Fourth Mainland Fund for Creators founder Chude Jideonwo, model Teminikan, and more. 

Mainstack operates a commerce platform that enables creators to transact in over 135 currencies. The company positions Moment 2026 as an extension of its digital infrastructure for African entrepreneurs.
