This year’s theme, “A Decade of Disrupting New Media: Shaping Africa’s Future,” marks a milestone for the conference founded in 2015 by media entrepreneur Oluwatosin “Olori Supergal” Ajibade. Over the last decade, NMC has evolved from a local gathering in Lagos into a pan-African platform with previous editions in Nairobi and Accra.

Highlights of the 2025 edition include keynote sessions, panel discussions, breakout workshops, and exhibitions showcasing startups and brands within the digital ecosystem. The event will also feature the unveiling of the NMC 100, a curated roll of 100 individuals and organizations who have shaped Nigeria’s digital media space over the past 10 years.

Speaking on the milestone, Ajibade said: “Reaching ten years of the New Media Conference is a proud moment, but it is also a reminder of the work ahead. When we began this journey, our goal was simple: to create a space where media, technology, and creativity could meet to shape Africa’s future. Today, we see an ecosystem that is bigger, bolder, and more connected than ever before.”

The 2025 edition is supported by Lagos State Ministry of Tourism, Arts & Culture, Lagos Cultural Mission, ProvidusBank, Wakanow, Onburd, BlackHouse Media, ID Africa, and other partners.
