This will be followed by an after party same day themed, “Wild Wild West”.

Day two according to her, will open with a seminar/exhibition, a programme that would afford planners the opportunity to network with industry experts.
The event will climax with a dinner and awards night on 30th September.

Already, 200 nominees have been carefully picked, who will slug it out for the 35 category awards that will be presented to the best in the industry come September 30.

Ms. Ope also revealed that the event will for the first time, embrace vendors from outside Lagos
