Registration has now opened for NECLive 2025, West Africa’s premier entertainment conference. Mark your calendars for: Friday, November 28 2025, at Landmark Event Centre in Lagos.
African entertainment is having its main character moment. Nigerian artists are headlining major festivals, our films are trending globally, and Afrobeats is the world’s soundtrack. But while the vibes are immaculate, the business side needs work.
NECLive 2025 isn’t just another conference. This is where real conversations happen—about money, infrastructure, intellectual property, and turning cultural capital into actual capital. The theme “Powering Africa Through Creative Enterprise” is a battle cry for an industry ready to claim its seat at the global table.
Legendary host Tee A and media powerhouse Bolanle Olukanni will bring their signature energy to three days of pure industry gold. You’ll get masterclasses from industry titans, hear from policymakers who can change the game, and meet investors ready to back African talent. MultiChoice Nigeria, MTN Nigeria, FirstBank and The Macallan are already confirmed as key partners.
Since 2013, NECLive has facilitated over 1,000 deals and partnerships, hosted 500+ industry experts, and reached 100 million people across 50+ countries. This isn’t networking—it’s a deal-making machine.
Who Needs To Be There
Artists trying to monetise beyond streaming change, content creators looking to build businesses, industry professionals who know African talent is undervalued, and investors hunting the next big thing in Africa’s $4.2 billion creative economy.
This is your Oscars, your Met Gala, your Super Bowl. This is where the culture gets built.
