This month, there will be conferences and exhibitions held for the banking, agriculture, photography and digital media industries, in locations across Nigeria.
If you’re a
business owner or employee working in any of these sectors, you might be interested in finding out what these events are about. Here, we provide you with the basic details concerning these events, and let you make an informed decision about attending them.
Africa Banking and Finance Conference
Aidem Business Solutions (the events organizer) is presenting this conference as an expert-led deep dive into the financial inclusion project. The program’s theme –
Sustaining the Momentum of the Financial Inclusion Agenda – hints at this, as does the information provided on the event’s website.
Because integrating the un-banked into the modern financial system isn’t the job of large commercial banks alone, it’s expected that other players in the finance sector such as NGOs, telcos, microfinance institutions, fintechs and policy regulators will be represented as well. They will be examining current trends in the industry, technologies that are revolutionizing financial service delivery, and charting a sustainable path to the future.

Date: Tuesday, April 10- Wednesday, April 11
Venue: Four Points by Sheraton, 9/10 Yesufu Abiodun Oniru Road, Ikoyi, Lagos.

AgroNigeria High Level Rice Conference
AgroNigeria is seeking a grand convergence of stakeholders in the agriculture industry. As a renaisance in rice production sweeps the country, a growing number of eyes are turning in the direction of this staple cereal and realizing its potential to give individuals and communities the chance to launch into economic self sufficiency. This conference should help further this narrative by availing interested persons of the information they’ll need to join this movement and succeed at it.
But there will be more to talk about at the event other than cashing in on the rice boom. The persisting challenges of initiating and expanding production capacity will be scruitinized, the present state of the business’s value chain will be discussed, and solutions will be proferred.
In case you’re wondering how important this event is, it’s expected to be declared open by the country’s Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, and hosted by the Minister of Agriculture, Audu Ogbeh.

If your company provides feed, equipment or veterinary services to poultry, dairy and fish farms, you might consider securing an exhibition booth.

The Business of Photography Conference
Making a living from capturing moments in snapshots is possible; at least that’s what this event could help convince people of.

Bello, Yetunde Ayeni Babaeko, Kelechi Amadi-Obi and Sheyi Afolabi, to name a few); exhibitions by photography manufacturing and retail businesses; and the chance to network with other photography entrepreneurs, enthusiasts and potential clients.
The BOP conference is organized by
the YD Agency, a fashion and lifestyle focused communications firm.
