Event professionals to hold conference

The Event Industry Conference (TEIC) is set to hold its 5th edition, a two-day global conference for events professionals.

With the theme, ‘Globalisation: See Outside the Box to Think Outside the Box,’ is scheduled to take place on September 27, through 28, 2022 at Sheba Centre Mobolaji Bank-Anthony and Whitestone Billings Way, Ikeja, Lagos, respectively.

Organised by the Association of Professional Party Organisers and Event Managers of Nigeria (APPOEMN), the event would bring together, key professionals from across the country and a spectrum of events service providers, to share experiences, perspectives, insights and latest developments in the events industry.

According to the President, APPOEMN, Mrs. Adefunke Kuyoro, the event has always been part of the Association’s culture, which has received a sudden boost in the recent times.

“There is a desire to mix international growing trends with the existing tradition.

This is also evidenced by the increase in the coverage received from print and social media, hence the need for an association,” Kuyoro said.

TEIC Chairperson/APPOEMN Public Relations Director, Bose Abisagboola, expressed hope that the conference would provide an atmosphere for bonding and sharing of knowledge in a relaxed environment that would enable event professionals to maximise their unique skills in a worldview to grow together.

She added that a mindset shift to go global with collaboration and networking as a game-changing strategy would also be imbibed.
