Since 2013, ID Africa has hosted eight editions of NECLive. It has been the largest gathering of entertainment industry practitioners and experts to discuss and engage on salient issues with a goal to drive the industry forward.
Each edition of NECLive has been fun, educative and unique as there is a balance between the important conversation and appropriate musical interludes.
This year, the ninth edition will hold on Wednesday, April 27, 2022, as a hybrid event. NECLive9 will be a blend of an in-person event featuring a select number of guests, with online participants and live global broadcast across cable TV, radio and online platforms.
Themed “Sustaining The Africa Momentum”, NECLive9 will explore how African creatives and entertainers can use digital media and technology tools to build sustainable economic power for themselves, the industry, and their nations. The event will curate conversations and discussions focused on the cross-border opportunities available to Africa’s entertainment industry through the Africa Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) when it becomes fully operational, as well as global opportunities available within diaspora communities.
Here is a pictorial representation of what NECLive has been like since its inception.
