The organisers of Nigeria’s leading tech ecosystem event, Art Of Technology Lagos (AOT), have announced that the fifth edition of the conference will delve into the dynamic interplay between technology and creativity. Scheduled to take place in December, AOT 5.0 promises to be a landmark event, spotlighting how technology is reshaping creative industries and driving economic growth.
Focus on Innovation and Creativity
Olatubosun Alake, the convener of AOT and Commissioner for Innovation, Science and Technology in Lagos State, highlighted the conference’s dual themes: “The Creative Economy” and “A Digital Lagos.” These themes will bring together policymakers, technology enthusiasts, creatives, innovators, and ecosystem leaders to explore how technology and creativity intersect to shape the future of Lagos.
“AOT 5.0 will focus on the symbiotic relationship between creativity and technology, exploring how these fields support and enhance each other,” Mr. Alake stated. “This year’s conference aims to highlight the critical role that both pillars play in driving Lagos’s future development.”
Impact on the Creative Economy
