Dess Digital proudly sponsored the ICSAN 49th Annual Conference held on 18 September 2025 at Harbour Point, Victoria Island, Lagos. As Nigeria’s premier gathering for governance professionals, the conference brought together chartered secretaries, directors, policy makers and corporate services leaders to explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping modern governance.
This year’s theme, Reimagining Governance: Navigating the Artificial Intelligence Revolution for Excellence, offered a timely platform for organisations and governance experts seeking to adopt responsible AI practices. With rapid technological change influencing board decisions and compliance structures, the conference provided valuable insights into building ethical, transparent and future ready governance systems.
The ICSAN 49th Conference brought together distinguished hosts including Mrs. Uto Ukpanah FCIS, President and Chairman of the Governing Council, and Mr. Francis Olawale FCIS, Vice President and Chairman of the Conference and AGM Committee. Their leadership reinforced the importance of equipping governance professionals with modern tools that support clarity, trust and institutional resilience. With more than 500 attendees, the event offered a powerful platform for networking and dialogue.
For Dess, the event strengthened our ongoing mission to empower boards and governance teams with advanced digital tools. As a trusted provider of governance and meeting management solutions, our presence at ICSAN underscored our dedication to supporting leaders as they prepare for the next phase of digital transformation.
Throughout the conference, our team engaged with chartered secretaries, compliance leaders and company secretaries from both private and public sector organisations. Attendees explored how our secure meeting management platform streamlines board meetings, centralises governance and enhances strategic decision making without compromising confidentiality.
Visitors to our booth experienced live demonstrations of features that support AI aligned governance practices such as structured workflows, seamless collaboration across leadership teams and secure digital solutions that improve accuracy and accountability.
