Landmark joins NECLive 2025 as a partner

Over the past decade, the Landmark Event Centre has become the stage for some of Nigeria’s most unforgettable milestones — from The Headies, where Afrobeats superstars have been crowned, to Lagos Startup Expo, where tech enthusiasts converge to showcase their products.

Now, the iconic Victoria Island venue is set to host another cultural moment as NECLive, West Africa’s biggest entertainment conference, makes its long-awaited return in 2025. After three years away, NECLive is coming home to Landmark for the 2025 edition, a full-circle moment for the conference that has shaped conversations about Nigeria’s creative economy since 2013.
