THE STORY
What the harvest gathered
Date28 May 2026
VenueConference Hotel, Abeokuta
ThemeWe Do The Work
DDE has been operating for twelve years. Chapter One: The First Harvest is the first time the full team paused together to look at what the year produced.
Every team member presented their year in their own words: what they shipped, what worked, what was difficult, and what they need next. We looked at the performance, the growth, the results, and the honest reflections side by side. The work that landed and the lessons that came with it.
That whole picture, gathered in one room and one day, is the harvest. The afternoon closed at Olumo Rock with the team together. That is the day we are taking into Chapter Two.
PART ONE · THE REVIEW
Eight people. Eight honest reports.
Eight team members, eight honest year-one reports, presentations on screen, lanyards on. The formal half of the day.
A few moments from the review. The complete collection is linked below.
PART TWO · THE CELEBRATION
Then we went to Olumo Rock.
After the formal review, we drove up to Olumo Rock. We sat together on the grass, ate, played games, and had serious fun. The team-bonding half of the day, just the eight of us.
