Last week didn't go down without a good number of events across Nigeria, this week isn't turning out any differently. From the New Media conference to youth empowerment mentorship program, here a couple of events going down this week that might interest you.
New Media conference
Themed “New Media as the future of the fourth estate”, this will be a one-day meetup where new media practitioners – publishers, bloggers, PR consultants and social media influencers -- come together to meet, greet and engage in discussions that will provide a blueprint on how to restore eroding credibility and trust to the new media. It will also explore means through which quality of media contents can be boosted significantly in line with best practices in the industry globally.
The conference is open to all new media publishers and practitioners who have a verifiable and legitimate platform and are seeking to network with policymakers, PR consultants and advertisers.
Attendance is free. However, all prospective attendees must be pre-registered to attend the conference.
