The African Creator Summit (ACS) 3.0 once again affirmed its commitment to inclusive representation across Nigeria’s creative ecosystem, as creators from the East, West, North, and South gathered for one of the continent’s most influential creator economy convenings.

Held on January 29, the Summit experience brought together digital creators, filmmakers, comedians, music talents, media professionals, and cultural entrepreneurs from across Nigeria, ensuring that no region was left behind in shaping the conversations around creativity, culture, and the business of content. Mazi Akpaka’s presence at the Summit reflected the rising influence of creators from the Eastern region in driving original storytelling, visual innovation, and community-led content creation within Nigeria’s digital landscape.

The Summit was followed by an exclusive Special Celebrities Dinner on January 30 at the Federal Palace Hotel, Lagos, a high-level networking experience that brought together leading creators, artists, industry executives, partners, and cultural stakeholders. The dinner created a premium environment for collaboration, relationship-building, and cross-regional partnerships—further reinforcing ACS’s mission to build bridges across Nigeria’s diverse creative communities.
