Entertainment Week Africa Takes Over Grammy Weekend with 'Creative Connect'

 During Grammy weekend, Entertainment Week Africa hosted Creative Connect, a special event designed to bring global business leaders and Africa’s top creators together.

Founded by Darey and Deola Art Alade, the gathering focused on turning Africa’s $50 billion creative industry into a more powerful, well-connected global force. By bringing together experts from music, film, and fashion, the event aimed to build long-term partnerships and better infrastructure for African talent.

Deola Art Alade, the CEO of Livespot360, explained that the goal is to bridge the gap between international decision-makers and African visionaries to create a creative economy that lasts and succeeds worldwide.

“Africa’s creative economy is brimming with talent and innovation. Our goal with gatherings like Creative Connect is to highlight these leaders and ensure that the continent’s creative story is told on its own terms with value, recognition, and sustainability at the center.”

The event showed how important it is for African creators and global business leaders to work together. It gave everyone a private space to meet, share ideas, and start new projects. The photos from the day capture the excitement and the great conversations that took place.

By hosting Creative Connect, Entertainment Week Africa is proving its commitment to putting African talent at the center of the world's stage. The goal is to make sure the people shaping Africa’s art and economy are heard loud and clear across the globe.
