Smart Stewards, a financial education organization, is set to convene over 3,000 entrepreneurs, investors, and professionals at its 11th Annual Summit, ELEVATE 2026, on Saturday, 19 September 2026, in Maryland, Lagos.

The event aims to create a collaborative environment where entrepreneurs and investors can work together to establish sustainable wealth amidst economic volatility.
