This year’s theme, “Connecting Tides,” explores the dynamic intersection of AI, technology, and storytelling across
creative expressions; exploring how African creatives can blend cutting-edge innovation with cultural authenticity to
captivate and resonate with global audiences.
The vision is to create real impact. EWL 2024 isn’t just about celebrating talent, it’s about equipping creatives with practical tools to succeed globally.

Building on its previous success, EWL 2024 will shine the spotlight on LABSPOT Creative Skills and Enterprise Development (CSED) – an initiative dedicated to continuous training and enterprise development for youth and women in the creative sector. Through LABSPOT CSED, this year’s extensive lineup of masterclasses and workshops will provide valuable insights and hands-on learning for participants looking to grow and excel in their creative careers. In addition to its educational components, EWL 2024 also offers an unparalleled entertainment lineup with art exhibitions, music performances, film screenings and fashion shows, which will transform Lagos into a vibrant playground of creativity.
The Marketplace will also provide a platform for small businesses, featuring pop-up shops, merchandise booths, and exhibition spaces where visitors can support local brands and discover new talent. EWL 2024 will also offer an unforgettable pop-up nightlife experience with Club X and Livespot X Concert. Being the perfect melting pot for creativity, EWL 2024 is opening its doors to creatives, storytellers, innovators, investors and fans of African entertainment.
