Registration for the event and reservation of seats is currently ongoing at Nec.ng.

As we countdown to the big day, here are nine things you need to know about the ninth edition of NECLive.

1. The Nigerian Entertainment Conference was founded in 2013 and since then, it has served as a platform for discussing challenges, exchanging ideas, and finding a strengthened pathway for the Nigerian entertainment industry to thrive.
2. The conference will hold on Friday, April 29, 2022, at 9 AM (WAT) as it returns in-person for the first time in three years as a special hybrid event to be held at Landmark Event Centre in Lagos and simultaneously broadcast live on cable TV and online platforms.
