Entertainment Week Africa sets Lagos return for November 17–22

Entertainment Week Africa is scheduled to return to Lagos from November 17 to 22 for its fifth anniversary edition, with organisers placing investment and market access at the centre of the programme.

The organiser’s launch announcement outlines seven tracks covering film and television, music, fashion and beauty, technology, live production, creative enterprise, and art and animation.

Planned formats include a deal room, content and music markets, a capital desk and skills-development activities. These are intended to connect creative businesses with buyers, distributors and investors.

The programme also lists the premiere of University of Side Hustle, a Lagos-set feature from Livespot Studios written by Dami Elebe.

The plans point to an event that combines public programming with commercial opportunities. Announced attendance targets and investment ambitions should be treated as organiser expectations until results are available.

Participants should check the official programme for current venue, registration and session arrangements before making plans around individual activities.
