Lagos Private Wealth Conference Returns in 2026 with Its Most Ambitious Programme Yet

Africa’s leading private wealth forum to convene global leaders, advisors and high-net-worth families in Lagos this June

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM – April 2026 – The Lagos Private Wealth Conference (LPWC) has announced the return of its flagship event for 2026, to be held on 3–4 June in Lagos, Nigeria. Now in its third year, the conference has rapidly established itself as the definitive platform for strategic dialogue, thought leadership and trusted connections within Africa’s private wealth ecosystem.

Convened and curated by Bimpe Nkontchou, Founder and Managing Principal of W8 Advisory, LPWC 2026 will deliver its most ambitious programme to date, bringing together over 20 global experts across 18 premium panel discussions. The event will unite African high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs), family offices, private investors, and leading international advisors, creating a unique forum for navigating the increasingly global and complex nature of wealth.

As wealth creation across Africa continues to accelerate, driven by entrepreneurship, technology and cross-border investment, the need for sophisticated, globally aligned wealth strategies has never been greater. LPWC responds directly to this need, offering a carefully curated programme that blends technical expertise with practical, forward-looking insight.

The 2026 agenda will cover a broad spectrum of critical topics, including:

• Wealth structuring and international tax planning in an increasingly regulated global environment 

• Global mobility and jurisdictional planning for internationally active families 

• Family governance, legacy planning and intergenerational wealth transfer 

• Investment management and asset allocation strategies across global markets

• The continued rise of entrepreneurship and wealth creation in Africa’s fintech and creative sectors

Each session is designed not only to inform, but to enable actionable decision-making, ensuring

attendees leave with strategies they can implement immediately.

The conference will feature a distinguished international faculty, including legal advisors, private

bankers, investment managers, fiduciary specialists and governance experts. This multidisciplinary approach reflects the reality that modern wealth management requires integrated, cross-border expertise.

A highlight of this year’s edition is the participation of the Bahamas Financial Services Board as Platinum Sponsor, marking its first official engagement in Nigeria. This milestone signals a growing commitment to direct collaboration with African HNWIs and their advisors, and reinforces the Bahamas’ position as an increasingly relevant global wealth hub.

More Than a Conference — A Trusted Network

LPWC has distinguished itself not only through its content but through the quality of its audience and the depth of its relationships. The conference is intentionally designed to foster meaningful interaction, long-term partnerships and confidential peer-to-peer exchange.

Unlike traditional large-scale conferences, LPWC offers a highly curated environment, enabling attendees to engage directly with decision-makers and experts in a setting that prioritises substance over scale.
