This year, we are taking TEDxEuston to a whole new level altogether, you deserve nothing less. You have shown your support by walking the walk, as the tickets have literarily flown off the "shelf". For every new one sold, we take it as an extra incentive to deliver to you ...our best event yet. The heart and soul of your event are the speakers - and we have spent the last eight months looking for the best our continent has to offer. Find below three more amazing people shaping the future of our continent...

He was previously a member of the Board of Directors of the Central Bank of Nigeria, and President of the Nigerian Stock Exchange. He also served as the founding Chairman of the Nigerian Economic Summit Group, and co-Chair of the Commonwealth Business Council. It is hard to find anyone that has had a greater impact on the evolution of corporate Nigeria in the past 30 years.

Teresa H. Clarke is the CEO of Africa.com, a company she founded in 2010 after resigning from her position as a managing director in the investment banking division of Goldman Sachs & Co.  Africa.com is the fastest growing Africa related website, with over five million page views per month from visitors throughout the world. Africa.com showcases carefully selected news, travel and lifestyle information and is playing a key role in shaping how the world sees Africa.

Emeka Okafor was the co-curator of the first TEDGlobal to take place in Africa (Arusha, Tanzania) in 2007. At the time, he was one of the earliest bloggers on technology news coming out of the African continent. Emeka brought together the best the continent had to offer to one of the most inspirational events of our time, on the African continent. He lives and works in New York, and is currently the curator of a roving annual event; “Makerfaire” that brings together inventors from African countries every year.
