Get READY for the Lagos Comic Con 2016 sept17

The annual Lagos Comic Convention aka Lagos
Comic Con began in 2012 serves as a market
place and a platform for the exchange of ideas
and
business opportunities in a sector that is
dominantly youthful and urban. It is an event that
brings together stakeholders in comics and other
related art forms. These include film, animation,
gaming and merchandising. Essentially a comic
con is a “trade fair” for a community of creative
people who seek to express themselves in ways
or cultures alienated by ‘‘educated’’ Africa.
The role of the Lagos Comic Con since its
inception in 2012 has been to celebrate
successes of practitioners in the Creative
Industry sector, encourage broader participation
and support the building of knowledge and
capacity necessary to strengthen the sector and
ultimately create jobs.

This has involved working with industry experts,
creative professionals, policy makers and
stakeholders to facilitate wider understanding
and awareness of the issues and opportunities
available.
The LAGOS COMIC-CON 2016 is a one day “trade
fair” style event slated for the 17th of
September, 2016 at the NECA HOUSE Alausa,
Ikeja, Lagos.
The event features a central stage for exhibition/
Sales, keynotes and panels, multiple rooms for
workshops, master classes and presentations,
and an area dedicated to co-working, networking
and interactive installations. Also there are lots
of competitions and movie screenings that make
the event also fun to be at.
