Mary Nnah

SoftPro Mixer, an exclusive invite-only event for product designers, software developers, and product managers, is set to debut in Lagos and Abuja this Saturday, May 10, 2025.

The Mixer is designed to offer a unique networking experience different from the typical conference, focusing on meaningful connections and purpose-driven conversations in Nigeria’s growing tech ecosystem.

Limited to just 50 attendees, SoftPro Mixer has already surpassed capacity with 52 confirmed participants, drawing professionals from leading organisations including Kuda, Polaris, IBTC Pension, Lotus, and Interswitch. This exclusive gathering reflects the increasing demand for intimate spaces where professionals can engage in real, goal-oriented networking, away from the noise of larger, impersonal industry events.

The event is centered on empowering attendees to form deep, impactful connections that foster collaboration and career growth. Unlike traditional speaker-driven conferences, SoftPro Mixer focuses on curated introductions and open dialogue, ensuring every participant leaves with actionable insights and new opportunities.

Speaking on the motivation behind the event, Young Ukpong, organizer of SoftPro Mixer, said, “SoftPro Mixer is more than just a networking session.
It reflects a shift in how tech professionals want to connect intentionally, authentically, and in spaces that value depth over volume. In a booming tech landscape like ours, people don’t just need more events; they
need better ones.”

Young continued, “I’ve seen how a single conversation can unlock a career move or inspire a new product. That’s the heart of SoftPro Mixer; bringing people together with purpose, and creating an environment where the right introductions can leads to real connections and opportunity for the tech ecosystem
