Okay, the wait is finally over. The registration for the 2019 Nigerian Entertainment Conference (NECLive7) is now on!

For the past 6 years, the Nigerian Entertainment Conference has been the go-to event for brainstorming, as well as sharing of insights, ideas, and solutions to problems facing the entertainment industry.

In 2014, Prof. Pat Utomi delivered a keynote speech on how the industry was blooming with no government support – with only a group of revolutionaries and visionaries gathering to build it from nothing.

Since the time, the industry has gone on to record even more laudable, record shattering feats. But there’s more to be done, as it remains ever evolving.

Courtesy technology, we have been ushered into an era where accessible data and consumer roles have become vital to the industry’s continued progress.

This, and more, is what an even better NECLive7 offers.

This year’s event which explores the theme: ‘Mobile, Data, Consumers and the future of Entertainment’ promises to be one of the best yet, as it focuses on the hard and smart work that still needs to be done by a generation that is keen on taking the baton from current visionaries to achieve even more desirable feats.

Registration for participants at the event which holds Wednesday, April 24, 2019, is absolutely FREE – as it has been for the past 6 editions.

You really don’t want to miss this edition!
