Africa’s first entertainment business festival of its kind berths. The Entertainment Fair and Festival is the industry’s most important event of the year. The annual festival envisioned to merge possibilities in the business of entertainment and opportunities with the showcase of the very best of African Entertainment and innovation to the World and present current world-class innovations around entertainment to and in Africa.

Such motivations will not be in limited quantities, and they would set the tone for a serious unpacking of Black excellence and its prime hallmark: opportunity.
TEFFEST’s exhibitors and stakeholders are leaders and innovators in their business categories and various industries with over twelve (12) speakers, three (3) moderators including TEFFEST special guest and Google’s Director of Strategy and Ops Craig Fenton, African star actress and filmmaker Omotola Jalade- Ekiende; ace comedian Ali Baba; Lagos state tax boss Ayo Subair, AGN President Emeka Rollas, label executive Idris Olorunnimbe, actor Alex Ekubo and a host of others.
“Now more than ever we need to own our entertainment and culture, even with recognition from across the globe from the likes of the Oscars and Grammys” said Chief convener Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde.
“At TEFFEST, we will empower young people with sessions on the issues they care about. From entrepreneurship and economic empowerment to social justice, we’ll have the provocative conversations not happening anywhere else. With the support of industry and friends, we will provide perspective on entertainment that could only come from industry veterans committed to our future.”
Awards will be handed to game changers in the creative and business space. TEFFEST is indeed the hub of business for African Entertainment.
