In the digital economy, brands, communities, and movements are built on social media every day. Behind those posts, campaigns, and conversations are professionals who manage communities, shape narratives, and drive engagement online.
Yet, despite their impact, social media managers, community builders, and digital professionals rarely have spaces designed specifically for them.
That is what ENGAGE 2026 aims to change.
Organised by The Hive Socials community, ENGAGE 2026 is a community-driven event designed to bring together the people who build digital communities for others. Rather than being a traditional conference, the event focuses on learning, honest conversations, and meaningful connections among professionals navigating the fast-evolving world of social media and digital marketing.
The event is scheduled to take place on April 4, 2026, on the Lagos Mainland, bringing together creators, social media managers, brand strategists, and digital professionals for a day of shared insights and collaboration.
At its core, ENGAGE 2026 is about creating a room where the people responsible for building online communities can finally build one for themselves.
Convener Yetunde Olatunbosun, founder of The Hive Socials, is bringing together a lineup of speakers who work at the intersection of content, growth, marketing, and digital storytelling.
