Nigerian Entertainment Conference 2019 to talk data

Created six years ago, the event showcases the entertainment industry in Nigeria through talks, performances and workshops.

The 2019 theme, Mobile, Data, Consumers and the Future of Entertainment, was chosen to interrogate the possibilities of the entertainment industry going forward.

“It has become clear that the Nigerian entertainment industry needs an event like NECLive," said Ayeni Adekunle, founder and convener of the conference. "The platform presents attendees and industry players the opportunity to network, and stakeholders with the much-needed insight to operate in this $8bn industry."

‘‘NECLive first held in April 2013, and it has held every year ever since, bringing everyone together to share new ideas, test new products and services, discuss issues and concepts, teach start-ups and generally set the agenda for the industry.

"And we have been lucky to feature some of the best brains around, from A-list actors and musicians to top executives from diverse industries, as well as government representatives and professional trainers. The list of speakers and panellists for this year promises to be our best yet.’’

Although the speakers at the upcoming event are yet to be announced, past editions have featured well-known acts in the industry, including Timi Dakolo, Banky W, 2Baba, Tiwa Savage, D'Banj, Davido and many others.

As with past editions, this year's event is free to attend for guests. Nonetheless, to gain access, guests need to register on the event's official website.
