Due to uncertainties surrounding COVID-19 and recent advisory from the Federal Government and the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) on public gatherings, ID Africa and the NECLive Organising Committee are announcing the indefinite postponement of the eighth edition of Nigerian Entertainment Conference (NECLive8), which was earlier scheduled to hold on Wednesday, April 22, 2020.
The recent outbreak of the Novel CoronaVirus (COVID-19) pandemic is challenging the world, including Nigeria with new cases detected over the past weeks. As a responsible organisation dedicated to the wellbeing of NECLive attendees and citizens of Nigeria, we believe this decision is in the best interest of everyone. We are thankful to our partners, sponsors, exhibitors and media friends who all through the years make necessary preparations to support NECLive in various ways.
For the first time in its eight-year history, NECLive, Nigeria’s largest annual gathering of entertainment and creative industry professionals will not hold in April. A new date for the full day conference and its associated satellite events will be announced in the coming weeks.
All attendees who have bought tickets are entitled to a full refund, while interested sponsors and partners can contact the Conference Coordinator on +234 803 788 1838 or [email protected] for further enquiries. More details on the refund process and FAQs are also available on our dedicated help page on nec.ng
The NECLive Organising Committee will continue to monitor national and global developments on the spread of Coronavirus. In the meantime, we empathise with those affected by COVID-19, both directly or indirectly and wish them speedy recovery.
We urge everyone to take precautionary measures by practising social distancing, washing hands with soap, using hand sanitizers often, maintaining good personal and environment hygiene, and to call 08000CORONA for advice or enquiries.
We look forward to having you join us at NECLive when a new date is announced.
