Africa-Press – Uganda. The Ignite Lead Summit 2025 took place on 22nd October 2025 at Four Points by Sheraton, Kampala, bringing together professionals from the private, public, NGO, and financial sectors. The summit gathered some of the country’s most inspiring leaders to share ideas, experiences, and practical lessons on leadership and personal growth.
The event, organised by MP3 Talent Solutions under the leadership of Ms. Monica Sanyu, aimed to build leaders who understand that growth begins with people. Speaking about the motivation behind the summit, Ms. Sanyu explained that Ignite Lead was created to help professionals learn from relatable experiences and apply leadership lessons that fit Uganda’s workplace realities.
The half-day event attracted a full house, filled with men and women eager to learn, connect, and reflect on what effective leadership looks like today.
The summit was supported by NBS Television, AfroMobile, and other partners, including the Institute of Corporate Governance of Uganda (ICGU) and NSSF. AfroMobile streamed the event live, allowing people across the country to follow the discussions and learn from the experts in real time.
One of the key highlights was the engaging lineup of speakers who each brought a unique perspective.
