Communiqué IRL is returning to Lagos this March
In March 2026, Communiqué IRL comes back to where it all began: Lagos, Nigeria.
After an incredible 2025 edition that brought together creators, filmmakers, operators, and cultural leaders, we’re returning with a different but important question:
What happens after the content goes viral?
This edition is inspired by one of Communiqué’s most-read essays and by a reality we’re seeing play out across Africa’s creative industries: Creators are no longer just building audiences; they’re building businesses, products, and legacies.
But the path from attention to ownership is rarely straightforward.
On Friday, March 20, we’ll explore the complete creator journey and what it truly takes to move beyond “just content.” We’ll learn from creators who are navigating the stages of evolution:
Attention: Building influence and audience trust
Monetisation: Turning creative output into income
Expansion: Moving from content to product and brand-building
Legacy: Institutionalising creativity through ventures, education, and ownership
If you’re in Lagos and you’re a creator or a creative entrepreneur building for longevity, you shouldn’t miss this. Slots are limited; reserve your seats here.
This edition marks the beginning of Communiqué IRL’s global chapter — and we couldn’t start anywhere else. We’ll see you in Lagos.
