Lagos Mainland hosts maiden Lagos Retail Festival
The first edition of Lagos Retail Festival will be hosted by Lagos Mainland, starting from November 23 to 29.
The event, to take place at the Welcome Centre Hotel, Airport Road, Lagos, promises participants and visitors a rewarding experience.
Lagos Retail Festival is a gathering of retail entrepreneurs who will be showcasing their brands, either already established brands or emerging brands. Aside this, the event will bring together players within the value chain to engage in thought-provoking conversations that would lead to meaningful connections.
During the event, over 500 vendors/brands are expected to engage with over 10,000 attendees/visitors within the three hubs available at the venue. The hubs are the Experience Centre, the Retail Village and the Heartland.
The Festival encompasses networking, business as well as avenue to catch fun. While the Experience Centre serves as the flagship venue for the festival, hosing the conferences, exhibitions and brand zones, the Heartland would play venue to the discount and bargain shopping and entertainment, while the Retail Village serves as the SME market, live band and recreation centre.
While participants, vendors and visitors engage in business ventures, networking, SME clinic, workshops, sales and merchandising, master classes, exhibitions, they would equally be thrilled to music and entertainment, game zones, etc. The festival “would provide a platform for business collaborations and offer business learning and advisory sessions for vendors, participants and attendees, while offering a relaxing space for exhibitions, shopping and relaxation,” a statement from the public relations office says.
