In Temidayo’s Rooms, Deals Are Born

Meet the strategist turning events into engines for business growth.

Not everyone is born knowing how to bring people together. Some stumble into it. Others learn it. But for Temidayo Balogun, connecting people, ideas, and opportunities has always been second nature.

If you’ve ever attended one of his events, you know it’s not just about pretty lights or perfect seating arrangements. It’s about who is in the room, what is being discussed, and what deals might be signed when the crowd disperses.

Temidayo started his journey long before titles like “Event Strategist” and “Ecosystem Builder” became part of his identity. From his early days in Akure over a decade ago, he noticed that the most successful people were rarely the ones with the loudest voices — they were the ones with the right networks. That observation planted a seed.

Over the years, he honed his skills, moving through sales, marketing, operations, and event management — each role sharpening his eye for detail and his instinct for connection. Today, he is the creative head behind Advans Event Special (Aves) and the co-founder of Systemic, a bold platform designed to bridge the gap between investors and businesses ready for growth.

“I’ve seen brilliant ideas die because they couldn’t find the right room,” he says. “I want to make sure those rooms exist — and that the right people are in them.”

His events don’t just celebrate milestones; they ignite conversations. They’ve led to partnerships, market entries, and investments that might never have happened otherwise. And his work with Systemic is pushing that vision even further, creating a structured gateway where capital meets potential.

Those who work with him describe Temidayo as visionary yet grounded — the kind of person who can dream up an industry-shaping summit in the morning and calmly solve a seating crisis by afternoon. In a business world that often feels transactional, his approach is refreshingly human: listen first, connect with intention, and make every encounter count.

As he steps into a new chapter of his journey, Temidayo is not just building events. He’s building ecosystems — and inviting the world to grow in them.
