You’ve answered countless Zoom calls from your living room. You’ve sent briefs at midnight. You’ve swapped memes with co-workers on Slack from miles away.
But when was the last time you met a fellow remote worker, in person?
For thousands of remote professionals across Africa, remote work has opened global doors. But behind the screens, many feel disconnected, working in isolation, lacking community, and missing real conversations.
What if all that could change?
I bring you the Jobberman Remote Work Fest 2025; the first live festival ever built for Africa’s remote work community.

Why Now?
Remote work has exploded. Tech, marketing, design, writing, project management, talent across Nigeria and Africa at large, is powerfully positioned to work for global clients from home, cafés, coworking hubs, anywhere with good Wi-Fi.
Yet, that talent remains scattered, siloed, mostly unseen, and often unheard.
There’s no shared space for remote workers to connect, no ground where remote-first companies meet remote-ready professionals eye-to-eye. That gap has existed…
…until now!
What Is the Remote Work Fest?
This isn’t just another career fair.
It’s a festival, a celebration of remote work, community, opportunity, and connection with the structure of a career fair (what’s a remote work festival if you don’t try to land new jobs or find fresh talent?)
It’s where global ambition meets Lagos energy. Where remote talent meets employers ready to hire. Where ideas, tools, and networks collide under one roof.
If you loved the 2025 Lagos Career Fair, you would hurry right now to grab a FREE ticket before all spots are taken. See for yourself.
