“The Buyer Team has taken the time to really help us. The speed networking was the best part of the show.”
Olamide Atoyebi
“The Buyer team helped me meet with vendors I wouldn’t have seen otherwise. At first I was worried about pre-arranging meetings but it has worked very well.”
Grace Itua
“The show is a good size with lots on offer. I believe that this platform allows better visibility of the whole market as I can see the best of Nigerian products as well as what the international markets have to offer side by side. Now this kind of show is in Lagos I am going to reduce the amount I spend at international fairs to ensure I have more budget when I visit next year.”
Laide Allison

“I saw a lot of major international brands at the show – it gives us the opportunity to place orders instead of having to travel every time we want to restock.”

The B2B matching was great, we are here to source for electronics, housing security solutions, smart locks for our estates. The LA team did proper introductions to the exhibitors that could deliver on the scale we wanted. The translation support was great as well.
