Today Friday, May 15 is the “Main Event” day. While yesterday was a closed-door leadership roundtable for high-level policy discussions, today the gates have opened for the general tech ecosystem.
It’s high-energy. You’ll see four simultaneous stages. If you’re looking for the Web3 and Fintech crossover, head to the “Digital Finance & Infrastructure” stage.
Keep an eye out for Tayo Oviosu (Paga) and Uzoma Dozie (Sparkle), who are expected to lead panels on the future of liquidity and digital banking in Nigeria.
Tech Festival (The “Anti-Conference”) Running from May 15–17 at New Lagos City (Fairfield Apartments, Abijo). Unlike the formal setting at Landmark, this is a “build and party” event where developers are actually shipping code and competing in hackathons while socializing.
These are hardware/robotics, 6th Drone Technology Conference: is currently wrapping up at the NIGAV Expo Centre near the airport.
The official “After Party” for the Tech Fest usually happens at a lounge in Lekki Phase 1 tonight. It’s often where the real VC deals are discussed after the formal panels end.
