Registration for NEClive9 opens as conference returns as hybrid event
ID Africa, organisers of the Nigerian Entertainment Conference (NECLive), has opened registration for the ninth edition of the annual entertainment conference, which holds on Friday, April 29, 2022, in Lagos, Nigeria.
The leading communications and strategic advisory company announced that registration begins on Monday, March 14, 2022, on www.nec.ng as the conference returns in-person for the first time in three years as a hybrid event.
According to the organisers, NECLive9 will blend an in-person event featuring a select number of guests with online participants and a live global broadcast across cable TV, radio and online.
This year, participants are grouped into three categories: the physical attendees who will attend the conference at Landmark Event Centre in Lagos, online participants – who will join the conference via digital channels, as well as viewers and listeners on cable TV and radio.
ID Africa said the nec.ng portal is now open for all to register to attend the conference for free or pay an access fee to experience all that comes with this year’s event.
West Africa’s biggest and longest running entertainment conference, founded in 2013, will feature a multi-national roster of speakers, panellists and performers interacting with a live audience from around the world.
As NECLive9, themed “Sustaining The Africa Momentum”, expands into a pan-African event this year, the organisers say the conference will delve into the role of creatives and the entertainment industry in nation-building. It will also lead conversations on how African creatives and entertainers can use digital media and technology tools to build sustainable economic power for themselves, the industry, and their nations.
Femi Falodun, CEO of ID Africa, said NECLive9 is bringing together key industry players from across the continent for a much-needed conversation on how to sustain the Africa momentum because “Creativity, pop culture, technology and youthful energy are some of the most powerful forces that can create meaningful social and economic change in Africa today and tomorrow.”
