An invitation-only Lagos evening where capital meets Africa's creative industries, with verified deal flow behind it.
The Investors Session is a private room of about seventy guests: investors, brands, government and individuals who want real exposure to the creative economy. It is the top of the CIIFA talent ladder made physical. The Skill Pool develops talent from first-time explorer to enterprise owner; this is the room where investors enter at the top and set every level to work.
The audience is not a conference crowd. We are connecting education and experience in the creative industries and business to finance, policy and trade across Africa.
Each session puts one concrete opportunity on the table and frames it so the room can act: pooled operating companies, catalogue funds, shared infrastructure, sector vehicles for film and fashion, blended finance. The signature idea is aggregation over fragmentation: fewer, stronger, professionally managed vehicles instead of many sub-scale bets.
CIIFA convenes the room and frames the opportunities. We do not hold or manage anyone's capital.
The founding edition holds in Lagos on Tuesday, 24 November 2026, in the season of CBA for Africa Week, with a review and a full series to follow in 2027, closing at the AMEDI Festival.
Seats are limited and by invitation. Tell us who you are and why the room fits; the team reviews every request.
