Show the work.
Creators demonstrate what they can actually do in the Creative Services Market.
One Saturday in Awka where businesses meet the creative and digital talent they need to grow — and real work gets done before the day ends.
The Expo turns ecosystem conversations into structured introductions, written next steps and visible commercial outcomes.
The brand says Create. Connect. Grow. This edition adds the missing beat: Build.

Explore the experiences →Live Build Studio makes the proposition visible: creative talent producing commercial results in hours, not months.
A working hub behind the Expo, with the space, community and delivery capability to keep the work moving after the event.
Activ8 Hub is a digital innovation and co-working space in Awka. Training, co-working, events and creator programmes run from it year-round, giving the Expo a community to build from rather than recruit from scratch.
Its in-house GoDigital delivery capability is what makes the Live Build Studio possible, while the hub remains the permanent home for the Partner Network, follow-up and future editions.
Visit Activ8 Hub →Every package is built around a zone, brief or measurable outcome — not just a logo on a banner.
