Human resources consultant, leadership coach, and career development advocate Eniola Peters is set to host the Women in Career Advancement Network (WICAN) Conference 2026, an initiative she founded to support women in navigating their careers, building leadership capacity, and pursuing professional growth with confidence.
The conference will take place on Saturday, March 28, 2026, at Bromley Events Place and Apartments, Abuja, bringing together women professionals, entrepreneurs, and emerging leaders for a day of mentorship, learning, and networking.
Peters, who has spent years working in the human resources and professional development space, established the Women in Career Advancement Network (WICAN) as a platform to create intentional conversations around career growth, workplace challenges, and leadership opportunities for women.
Through WICAN, Peters has continued to build a community where women can access mentorship, share experiences, and gain practical tools to advance in their careers and businesses.
This year’s conference is themed “Dream. Dare. Do. — Turning Vision into Action,” reflecting Peters’ commitment to encouraging women to move beyond aspirations and take deliberate steps toward achieving their goals.
Speaking about the conference, Peters said the platform was created to provide women with both inspiration and practical guidance.
“Many women have powerful dreams for their careers and businesses, but translating those dreams into action often requires courage, clarity, and the right support system. Through WICAN, we are creating a space where women can gain the confidence, mentorship, and knowledge needed to take bold steps forward.”
The 2026 WICAN Conference will feature a lineup of accomplished speakers who will share insights from their professional journeys and leadership experiences. Speakers include:
- Nkwo Onwuka
- Dr. Seyi Abiodun, popularly known as Seyideassistant
- Abisayo Busari Akinnadeju
- Orifie Uyo
- Eniola Peters
The sessions will focus on career advancement, leadership development, personal growth, and strategies for navigating today’s evolving professional landscape.
Beyond the keynote sessions and panel discussions, the conference will also provide opportunities for networking and mentorship, allowing participants to connect with professionals across industries and build relationships that support long-term career growth.
The upcoming event builds on the success of the 2025 WICAN Conference, which attracted over 200 women professionals and entrepreneurs in Abuja. The previous edition, themed “The Career Smart Woman,” featured conversations around workplace resilience, professional positioning, and leadership development.
For Peters, the continued growth of the WICAN community reflects a shared desire among women to support one another in pursuing meaningful careers and leadership roles.
Through initiatives like the WICAN Conference, Peters continues to champion a vision where women are empowered not only to succeed individually but also to uplift others along the way.
As the 2026 conference approaches, participants are expected to leave the event with renewed confidence, practical strategies, and stronger professional networks that will help them transform their aspirations into action.
