Side Hustle Connect 2026 · Recap & follow-up
From structure to execution — your first practical step.
This page is for entrepreneurs in the Side Hustle Connect community. It covers the SHC26 event details, how to register or exhibit at the next edition, and how I can help you act on the theme. I am a technology entrepreneur, not the organiser: the event is run by Triune Business Solutions.

Registration & exhibitor spots
Registering or exhibiting goes through the organiser
I don't sell tickets or stands for Side Hustle Connect. To make sure you deal with the right people, contact the organiser directly.
Exhibitor & partner spots
The organiser invites calls and WhatsApp messages on +233 20 646 7489 for reservations and partnership opportunities. Stand prices and availability were not published when I checked, so ask them directly.
If you exhibit: be ready to capture leads
- One-line offer on your banner, readable from three metres away.
- A price list or price ranges at the table, so conversations start with facts.
- A QR code that opens a short enquiry form — not just your Instagram — so every lead is recorded.
- A WhatsApp Business profile with your catalogue, hours and location filled in.
- A simple sheet or form to note each visitor's name, need and follow-up date.
- A follow-up message written before the event, sent within 48 hours.
I can set up the enquiry form, QR code and follow-up list for your stand as part of the Start package.
Turning the theme into action
Six SHC26 themes, six practical first moves
The themes are the organiser's. The suggested first move under each one is my own practical advice.
01
Pitch
Communicate the business clearly and confidently.
Write one sentence that says what you sell, to whom and where. Say it to three people and keep the version they repeat back to you correctly.
02
Propose
Use strong proposals to create business opportunities.
Put every offer in writing: scope, price, timeline and payment terms. A clear proposal is often the difference between interest and a deposit.
03
Position
Understand what investors and strategic partners look for.
Make sure a stranger can check you are real: a website or listing with your work, prices or price ranges, and contact details that match everywhere.
04
Partner
Build relationships that can open doors.
Keep a simple list of every contact you made, what you discussed and the follow-up date. Most opportunities are lost in the follow-up, not the meeting.
05
Expand
Explore export and African market opportunities.
Before chasing new markets, check you can take an order and a payment from someone you have never met — online, by Mobile Money or card.
06
Execute
Move from knowing what to do to actually doing it.
Pick the one task that costs you the most time or customers each week, and fix that first. One working system beats five planned ones.
