The inaugural Nexify Summit 2026 is confirmed for Saturday, 21 February 2026, in Ikeja, Lagos. This first edition establishes a new, intentional platform dedicated to the structural and sustainable development of Africa’s creative sector.
Under the theme “Create Boldly, Scale Smarter, Protect What Matters,” the summit will address the critical gap between creative talent and the business infrastructure necessary for longevity. It is designed for artists, founders, innovators, and cultural leaders seeking to build protected and scalable enterprises.
Curated by Creatico, a creative growth company founded by Ally Oceans, Nexify Summit 2026 will be a hybrid event. It will host a curated in-person audience in Lagos alongside a global virtual participation, facilitating wide-reaching engagement.
“Nexify is not about noise or numbers. It is about intention,” said Ally Oceans, Founder of Creatico. “We are creating a space where creatives are seen, grounded, and equipped.
The goal is not just inspiration, but tangible protection and positioning for long-term success.”
The one-day program will feature conversations, panels, interactive sessions, artistic performances, and practical workshops. Key focus areas will include:
Creative rights, intellectual property protection, and sustainable revenue structures.
Monetisation strategies, scaling systems, and leveraging technology.
Mental health, creative well-being, and sustainable workflows.
Fostering collaboration, community, and building a lasting legacy.
This Lagos edition marks the official debut of the Nexify summit platform, with future editions planned for other cities. It is expected to draw 8,000 participant on site with a further 5,000 joining virtually.
