The AMEDI Festival

AMEDI means "welcome" in Ibibio. Once a year, Lagos opens its doors to Africa's creative economy: five days where talent, industry, policy and capital meet in one place.

What it is

The AMEDI Festival is the annual public moment of the CIIFA and CTF ecosystem, and the one national event where everything converges. It is the graduation week of CBA for Africa, the meeting point of the Skill Pool community from first-time explorers to investors, and the week the market comes to meet the talent.

We welcome people to Africa's creative economy: to a career, to the market, to a new class of graduating talent, to the culture across music, film and fashion, and to the table where talent meets capital.

The five days

The Creative Career Fair

The Creative Career Fair now lives inside the festival as Day 4. It is where Africa's creative talent meets the employers, studios and companies that need them: portfolios, hiring conversations and real opportunities in one room. Employers and recruiters who want a stand or a hiring slot should partner with us.
