SMFest Awka 2025: A Movement to Disrupt & Evolve
What is SMFest Awka?
SMFest Awka is not just another event. It is the largest convergence of innovators, entrepreneurs, creatives, tech enthusiasts, and digital professionals in South East Nigeria—a vibrant platform designed to spark conversations, inspire growth, and catalyze disruptive change.
Now in its second edition, SMFest Awka has become a symbol of youth empowerment, innovation, and digital transformation in Anambra State and beyond.
THEME FOR 2025: "Disrupt & Evolve"
This year’s theme, Disrupt & Evolve, builds on the momentum of our previous theme (Digital Awakening). It reflects a call for young Africans and digital professionals to challenge outdated norms, reimagine business and technology, and evolve into leaders who shape the future.
It also aligns perfectly with the ongoing digital revolution in Anambra State, powered by the Solution Innovation District and supported by the government’s massive push for youth skill development and tech innovation.
