Past Attendees Testimonials

There is something the Youthspark team knows that we should all know about thought leadership in the global space. I am pushing the founder, Raymond Okpani to create a digital product out of this knowledge because there are levels to this thought leadership. All through my stay at Youthspark Conference 2021 in Kigali, the team delivered so much value and I can’t wait to be back at the next edition.
