NEC Live is Nigerian Entertainment Conference (NEC) with a hashtag (#Live) and often written as NECLive. It is an annual deliberative conference of Nigerian entertainers.[1][2][3]
NECLive was founded in 2013 by Ayeni Adekunle, a media and PR expert who conceived the idea while waiting to board a flight to London. The annual conference brings together music artists, comedians, Nollywood artists and other stakeholders in the entertainment industry such as producers, marketers, creative arts and media professionals[4][5] for a full day of conversations, workshops, exhibitions and master classes. The conference encourages establishment of connections and professional relationships between big names in the industry and developing or upcoming talents for mentoring.[6]
The agenda or topics for discussion for each session of NECLive are planned at least three months in advance and announced to the public at preliminary press conferences.[7] NECLive session holds often in the month of April.[8] Participation is free but participants are required to pre-register on a designated portal ahead of the session.
NECLive maiden session held April 26, 2013 at Eko Hotel and Suites in the city of Lagos. Comedian, Tee-A hosted all the seven editions between 2013 and 2019 with about 3000 participants attending annually and millions of audience watching on cable TV and online streaming. In 2019, there were reports that the host, Tee-A had left the program but days before the 7th edition the organizers announced his return to the show.[9] The Current organisers of NECLive are ID Africa, theNETng, African Creative Foundation, MultiChoice, Livespot, Huce Valeris, and Black House Media. Leo DaSilva was one of the speakers of the 2022 event.[10]
