Welcome
Welcome to the Young Men Conference, an annual gathering dedicated to empowering and connecting young men across Africa. Organized by the Double Edged Impact Network, a community of impact-driven professionals committed to advancing humanity, this conference serves as a vital platform for young men to engage in meaningful discussions and equip themselves with the knowledge and strategies needed to overcome life’s challenges.
Our mission is clear: to foster a safe and inclusive environment where young men can connect, network, and cultivate valuable relationships that transcend personal, business, and career boundaries. Each year, in November, we come together in celebration of International Men’s Day to explore shared experiences, learn from one another, and grow as a community.
Join us at the Young Men Conference and become a part of this transformative journey towards personal growth, leadership, and meaningful connections. Together, we will become more, do more, and give more, advancing not only ourselves but also the cause of humanity.
The Man Who Builds
Building Self. Building Society. Building Families. Building Legacy.
In the world today, it’s easy to drift, complain, or tear oneself and others down. But what would make our world better is to have people who don’t just know how to build but are committed to building.
The Young Men Conference 2025 builds on the foundations laid in previous editions of the conference under the themes “The Complete Man” (holistic development), “Positive Masculinity” (redefining manhood), and “Men Dey!” (presence and resilience). Through the theme, “The Man Who Builds,” we aim to challenge young men to move from showing up to building up.
The Man Who Builds doesn’t wait for perfect conditions; he rolls up his sleeves and takes responsibility for his life, his values, his energy, his work, his finances, and his relationships. He understands that greatness is never accidental; it is the result of deliberate choices, discipline, and a clear vision for the future. So, he makes the deliberate choice to embrace the discipline, vision, and responsibility required to build a life that stands the test of time, in character, career, relationships, and legacy.
This conference will therefore inspire young men to take ownership of their lives, not waiting for opportunities to come, but actively shaping them. It will challenge them to go beyond consumption into creation, beyond mere survival into stewardship, and to approach life with the intentionality of a man who builds with both vision and responsibility rather than drifting through it.
Through this theme, the conference will:
- Shift young men’s focus from momentary gains to long-term impact.
- Provide the tools and mindset for building personal values, discipline, and self-mastery.
- Encourage young men to invest their energy, time, and resources into what truly counts.
- Address core aspects of manhood (work, money, relationships, purpose, and integrity) with a practical, action-driven approach.
The Man Who Builds doesn’t just dream of a better tomorrow; he lays the bricks today.

What people say about The Man
A complete man understands that a person's true worth is not solely measured by their possessions, but rather by the enduring legacy of positive change, transformation, and impact they leave upon the world.
Victor Ifegwu-Mbonu
Social Impact leader
Adversity toughens manhood, and the characteristic of the good or the great man is not that he has been exempt from the evils of life, but that he has surmounted them
Patrick Henry
Founding Father Of the United States
Man is never so manly as when he feels deeply, acts boldly, and expresses himself with frankness and with fervor.
Benjamin Disraeli
Former UK Prime Minister
Strength, Courage, Mastery, and Honor are the alpha virtues of men all over the world.
Jack Donovan
Writer
Manliness means perfect manhood, as womanliness implies perfect womanhood. Manliness is the character of a man as he ought to be, as he was meant to be
James Freeman Clarke
Theologian and Author
A man’s got to have a code, a creed to live by, no matter his job
