⌖ Lagos

Entertainment Week Africa’s AI & Tech Track brings founders, developers and creators to Lagos from 17–22 November 2026 to explore the creative economy. Part of the wider Entertainment Week Africa (EWA) programme, this multi-day conference and hackathon focuses on the tools, platforms and builders powering Africa’s creative and entertainment industries. It offers a meeting point for technical talent, creative professionals, platform teams and innovation partners interested in how AI and emerging technology can support the creation, production and commercialisation of creative work. What to expect EWA describes each of its industry tracks as a focused programme combining panels, masterclasses, showcases, markets and labs. Rather than treating technology as a standalone subject, the AI & Tech Track places it within the practical realities of the creative economy, connecting builders and platforms with the people and businesses that may use their products. The track is designed around: - AI tools and technology platforms for creative work - Founders and developers building for entertainment and the wider creative economy - Creators exploring new tools, workflows and opportunities - Innovation partners looking to engage with Africa’s creative industries - Practical spaces where ideas and work can be developed, presented and brought to market The combination of conference programming and hands-on activity makes this relevant to a broad range of experience levels. Product founders, software developers and experienced operators can connect with potential collaborators and industry users, while creators and creative entrepreneurs can discover how technology is being applied across their fields. The event page does not list prerequisites, so attendees should consult the published schedule and lineup for individual session details. Part of a seven-track creative programme The AI & Tech programme sits alongside six other EWA 2026 tracks: Music; Film & TV; Fashion & Beauty; Art & Animation; Live Events & Production; and Creative Enterprise. This cross-industry setting is a distinctive part of the experience, bringing technologists into the same event ecosystem as artists, producers, studios, brands, investors, executives and other creative-economy operators.… Register for this event
