The Electronic Media Content Owners Association of Nigeria (EMCOAN) is pleased to announce the details of the fourth edition of the Nigeria Electronic Media Content Exhibitions and Awards (NEMCEA 2025).

The two-day conference will be held at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Ikeja, Lagos, bringing together top media professionals, content creators, broadcasters, and technology experts.
The central theme for NEMCEA 2025 is “Sustainable Content Creation in a Fragmented Media Landscape.” This theme addresses the critical challenge facing the industry today: how to create and monetize high-quality content when audiences are scattered across countless platforms and devices. The conference will feature thought-provoking panel sessions and discussions on audience engagement, cross-sector collaboration, content monetization, and technology-driven storytelling.
