The conference will hold on Wednesday, April 27, 2022, at Landmark Event Centre in Lagos, Nigeria, as it returns in-person for the first time in three years as a hybrid event.

What to look out for
Since its first edition in 2013, NECLive has remained the major event for brainstorming, sharing insights, ideas, and solutions to challenges facing the Nigerian entertainment and creative industry.
The conference is expanding into a continental event for the ninth edition. For its first continental edition, NECLive will explore how African creatives and entertainers can use digital media and technology tools to build sustainable economic power for themselves, the industry, and their nations.
It will also curate conversations and discussions focused on the cross-border opportunities available to Africa’s entertainment industry through the Africa Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) when it becomes fully operational, as well as global opportunities available within diaspora communities.
As Nigeria prepares for the 2023 general elections, NECLive9 will also delve into the role of creatives and the entertainment industry in nation-building, including how to use entertainment as a vehicle for driving social change on the continent.
The event will also feature live performances by entertainers from across Africa and include product unveilings, brand announcements, and industry tributes.
