Unlike other years, in 2023 things are being handled differently, as a group of prominent personalities has put together an actual Men's Conference.

The conference will be happening at the Carnivore from 2 pm, and men have been advised to attend in large numbers.

Some of the speakers lined up for the 2023 Men’s Conference include; Rashid Abdalla, Chris Kirwa, Ian Mbugua, Dr Ofweneke, Ezekiel Mutua, Reuben Kariuki, Pastor Simon Mbevi, George Wachiuri, Stephen Letoo, and Lawyer Dustana Omari.

The conference will be hosted by radio personality Shaffie Weru.

As plans for the actual Men's Conference are underway, Netizens are also pushing their own imaginary Men’s Conference on Twitter.

A section has jumped on the trend, with photos (downloaded) as proof that indeed they had turned up for the meeting and therefore their women should accord them ample time.

Couples across the globe typically recognize the annual celebration by exchanging gifts, flowers, and cards, although it's not recognized as a public holiday in any part of the world.

St Valentine

The feast of St Valentine of February 14 was first established in 496 by Pope Gelasius I, who included Valentine among all those "whose names are justly reverenced among men, but whose acts are known only to God."

Valentine’s Day is meant to honour one or two early saints named Valentinus. It’s also recognized as a significant cultural, religious, and commercial celebration of romance and romantic love around the world.
