Inside The Frame Expo 2026, Nigeria’s first immersive creative production and gear expo, will hold from Wednesday, August 19 to Friday, August 21, 2026 at the Ecobank Pan-African Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos. Timed to coincide with World Photography Day 2026 and its global theme, HOME, the three-day event will gather photographers, videographers, cinematographers, mobile content creators, designers, and creative entrepreneurs for an experience built around one idea: the creative industry deserves a formal home for the conversations that have always shaped it.
For years, Nigeria’s creatives have traded knowledge about pricing, contracts, clients, and gear in group chats, in DMs, and in parking lots after shoots. Inside The Frame Expo is the first dedicated, physical space built for those conversations, structured across three thematic days: Foundations, Commerce, and Legacy.
The programme spans keynotes, panels, workshops, and fireside conversations, headlined by an Opening Keynote on Day 1 from celebrated photographer Kelechi Amadi-Obi. Confirmed speakers include Yagazie Eguare, Dr. Babatunde Irukera, Aisha Augie-Kuta, Elizabeth Osho, Kola Oshalusi, Emmanuel Oyeleke, Tobi Bakre, TaymiB, Dr Yetunde Ogunnubi, Tobbie B, Seun Runsewe, Tiwalola “TJ Dotts” Olanubi, Yinka Obebe, Oluseyi Magic, James Omokwe, and more, covering everything from cinematic storytelling and copyright to payments infrastructure and Nigeria’s creator economy.
On the exhibition floor, vendor spaces and dedicated experience zones, anchored by the Ecobank Main Stage and the Ulanzi Creator Lab, will let attendees get hands on with the latest tools of the craft. In a special tribute to World Photography Day, the expo will also host a curated photo exhibition, with works by some of Nigeria’s most accomplished photographers on showcase throughout all three days.
“This expo was not created to fill a silence. The conversations have always been happening, just informally. What we are doing is giving them a home, a room where a photographer can meet the brand, the banker, and the mentor in the same afternoon. You come for the gear. You stay for the knowledge. You leave as a business,” said Oluwashola Ajisegbede, popularly known as Sniper, Founder ofSniper Ajix Solutions and Convener of Inside The Frame Expo.
