Organisers of NECLive, West Africa’s largest annual gathering of creative industry professionals, have announced the conception and introduction of a new multi-venue, global format for the conference. Based on the new format, the conference will now hold simultaneously in other parts of Nigeria, as well as in key cities across Africa, Europe, and America. Frustration about lack of education, about piracy, about lack of platforms and access and opportunities for entertainment practitioners to monetize their talent at scale. Founded in 2013, NECLive has provided a sustained platform for conversations and interventions for an industry that has fought against all odds to survive and thrive. So, starting April 24, 2004, we will decentralise the platform, hosting shows and workshops and exhibitions and more all over the world.
