Corporate support for Nigeria’s flagship advertising gathering has received a significant boost, with Interswitch Limited and Nestlé Nigeria Plc joining a growing coalition of sponsors for the 2026 National Advertising Conference (NAC).
The two corporate bodies will be supporting the event alongside Tolaram Group Nigeria and Four Pulley Limited(FPL), which were announced as lead sponsor and platinum partner respectively. Organisers also confirmed that Tropical General Investments Group (TGI) has been named Gold Sponsor for the conference.
The event, which is the sixth edition of NAC, is scheduled to hold from November 11 to 13, 2026, at the Abuja Continental Hotel, with the theme “Repositioning the Marketing Communications Industry for the Next Frontier.”
Announcing the sponsorships, Mr. Uduak Bassey, Chairman of the NAC Marketing Sub-Committee, expressed appreciation for the corporate support. “We are delighted to welcome TGI Group as a Gold Sponsor, alongside Interswitch and Nestlé Nigeria, whose support further reinforces the relevance of NAC as a platform for industry transformation,” he said. “We believe that the future of marketing communications must be shaped through collaboration, innovation and shared commitment across the entire business ecosystem.”
The conference is expected to draw stakeholders from across the advertising, marketing, media, business and regulatory sectors. Key discussions will centre on the industry’s readiness for emerging technologies, with the Advertising Regulatory Council of Nigeria (ARCON) planning to unveil proposals for a regulatory framework covering digital advertising and artificial intelligence.
NAC Chairman, Tunji Adeyinka, disclosed that the programme will feature keynote sessions and high-level panels on topics including audience measurement systems, the future of broadcast media, regulation of digital marketing and AI, and the place of the advertising industry in Nigeria’s creative economy.
The event will also feature a fireside chat with prominent business leader Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede, who will share leadership insights with industry professionals on the first day of the conference.
Organisers revealed that the event is still open to sponsorship from corporate organisations, financial institutions, technology companies and professional bodies, noting that premium partnership opportunities are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
