*whispering dreamily* Kosibah, Kosibah…just the name does things to me!
BN i shall be eagerly awaiting pics…during and after!
interesting ! First?
NOT QUITE!
plsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss. not quite! is it an exhibition, or a comedy show, or business meeting, or concert? Tired of Nigerians bunching everything together for the sake of making money. If it is an events fair concentrate on things like event design, cakes, dresses etc. What has Ndidi Nwuneli got to do with events for instance? She shoould be at a business session at a seminar. You can’t have it all in one event.
Urm….I think they can, because they kinda have already. We live in an age where everyone wants something different. Some people wont want to go for a comedy show and some wont wat to go for jus seminars, but put them together in an organized way and you have pleased them both. But I do have to stress the organized bit though
That’s precisely why Ndidi Nwuneli is needed as a speaker, yes it’s an events conference but she can give valuable insight on being an entrepreneur in Nigeria. People who own events-related businesses also need to learn the basics of running a business.
Naija gbogbonisherising it’s event? jorr o!
IK don hammer oh..all i can see for him is ching ching..
this is d event of 2011 can’t wait
@ Lotuf -Maybe they did not take time to explain properly….while the fair is ongoing, some educational sessions will also be running simultaneously – about 10 or 15 seesions all in all so Ndidi will be taking one of the sessions. So there are sessions on enterpreneurship, weddings, make uo, catering etc.
You can go to the website to get the full info!
If you travel far and wide you will know how event fairs and exhibitions run internationally. That is exactly what we will be getting at the FAIR. If you need it then go. Every event planner needs to know how to run a business successfully.
Yay I won!!!!!!!!! Thanks Oaken Thanks Bella
I’m at work now O! What time is the event slated for today so I can attend the educational session. Please respond… will keep my eyes glued to the page.
So…. I finally got the info needed and spent time at a session with IK . It was truly rewarding. Thanks again Bella. Will be at the evening event on Friday… I cant wait!
the turnout of people was low today. by the time i wa leaving today there were only 4 of us!!!! at 5 o clock! and the event started at 1. Smh….. what went wrong?
