THE RISE OF CREATIVES AND PROFESSIONALS IN EPE

Epe Creative Summit ’26 · The Premier Creative & Tech Summit in Epe, Lagos

The landmark gathering of 700+ tech innovators, creatives, entrepreneurs, and students in Epe, Lagos for high-impact conversations, connections, and career-defining opportunities that shape what Epe becomes next.

One day. One room. Epe.

WHAT IF OPPORTUNITY DIDN’T HAVE TO BE FOUND ELSEWHERE?

Epe has land, water, history, four tertiary institutions, and thousands of young people with drive, imagination, and modern skill. Yet every week, talent travels miles out to Lagos Island, Ikeja, or beyond simply looking for the rooms where ideas connect.

We are gathering the photographers, engineers, designers, artisans, founders, and students who choose to build from this coastal town. Not to wait for permission, but to make opportunity native to our home.

CONNECTION.
EXPOSURE.
OPPORTUNITY.
About The Gathering

THIS IS MORE THAN AN EVENT.

Epe Creative Summit ’26 is designed as a catalytic forum where creative talent meets institutional resources, commercial commissions, and collaborative networks.

From masterclasses in commercial filmmaking and distributed engineering to keynote dialogues on coastal urban infrastructure, this room convenes the minds active in shaping Epe’s creative economy.

Beyond an event, this is a movement.

The Locality

WHY EPE?

Epe is not a quiet suburb awaiting development — it is an active cultural center. With major tertiary campuses including LASUED, LASU Epe, and YabaTech, the town houses one of the highest concentrations of ambitious young intellects in the region.

As expansion moves eastward across the Lekki-Epe expressway, the next generation must not merely witness real estate expansion; they must be the engineers, storytellers, brand architects, and civic builders leading it.

Epe doesn’t lack people. We need more connection between the people.
