The flagship CEYOND Townhall Conference gathers Edo youths from Nigeria and the diaspora for three days of leadership, ideas, and organizing.
Every CEYOND Townhall Conference is built around a simple belief: the next generation of Edo leaders is already here, and they just need a room — physical or virtual — to find each other in.
Delegates travel in from across Nigeria and the diaspora for a packed few days of plenary sessions, strategic break-out rooms, and open floor discussions on the issues shaping the state and the country. Past townhalls have produced volunteer networks, partnership pledges, and the “Edo Youth Agenda” that continues to guide CEYOND’s programming.
Press release, 5 August 2022: the 2022 CEYOND Conference scheduled to hold in Houston, Texas from 20th – 22nd October 2022 has been postponed due to reasons beyond the committee’s control. Details of a new conference schedule will be announced on the association’s website and other media platforms. Signed, CEYOND Conference Committee.
Leadership
We use the numerous conferences organized by CEYOND to instill and build leaders for the next generation. The search for genuine and true leaders cannot be overemphasized, hence CEYOND uses the conferences it organizes to rededicate this paramount need in society.
Ideas
CEYOND uses its conferences to incubate and hatch ideas that have the potential to develop society. These ideas come during strategic break-out rooms, strategically coordinated to synchronize different persons with their respective passions and specialization.
