SACNET 26 Creative Influence successfully brought top industry voices to Abuja, connecting entertainment, business, and culture leaders in a premium creative summit powered by SPADEZ and supported by the British Council.
Abuja’s creative and cultural ecosystem recently witnessed one of its most refined and high-level gatherings as SACNet 2026: Creative Influence – Connecting Vision & Voices successfully brought together leading voices from entertainment, media, business, and the wider creative industry.
Convened by Obianuju Asika and organized by Spadez Management and PR Limited, with strong support from the British Council, the summit was designed as a premium, thought-leadership-driven platform. It created an atmosphere where influence met innovation, giving both established and emerging creatives a shared space for dialogue, collaboration, and future-building.
Hosted at the prestigious British Council, Plot 3645 Ibrahim Babangida Way, Maitama, Abuja, the event’s setting reflected its global outlook and intentional positioning as a serious platform for cultural exchange and creative advancement within Nigeria’s capital.
A Platform Built on Vision and Collaboration
At its core, SACNet 2026 was built around the idea of connecting powerful ideas with the people bold enough to execute them.
Under the theme “Connecting Vision & Voices,” the summit emphasized the critical role of collaboration in the creative economy especially in a city like Abuja, where innovation across media, music, film, fashion, and digital storytelling continues to grow.
Through carefully curated sessions, the event explored how creatives can move beyond talent into structured influence, sustainable careers, and ecosystem impact.
Industry Voices Driving Meaningful Conversations
The summit featured an impressive lineup of respected industry leaders and facilitators. Among the standout speakers were Obi Asika and Kemen Fitness, who delivered powerful keynote sessions that resonated strongly with attendees.
Panel sessions brought together notable voices including Mayo Okunnu, Sa’a Maccido, Daro Umaigba, Chef Taylor, Remi Osifo, Uzee Usman, Halima Tata, and others, with conversations spanning fashion, lifestyle, tourism, wellness, and the business of creativity. Moderation and session facilitation ensured the discussions remained practical, engaging, and industry-relevant.
A defining moment of the event was the highly interactive keynote by Obi Asika, which led to the spontaneous announcement of the Abuja Creative Week: a bold new initiative to be led by Obianuju Asika, further extending SACNet’s impact beyond a one-day gathering into a broader creative movement.
Impact and Outcomes
What set SACNet 2026 apart was its ability to go beyond talk and spark tangible outcomes. The summit successfully:
– Connected creatives across industries
– Created opportunities for visibility and collaboration
– Facilitated meaningful networking and partnerships

From red carpet interviews to panel sessions and networking moments, the energy throughout the event reflected a community ready to build, collaborate, and scale.
Positioning Abuja as a Creative Powerhouse
The premium execution, strong speaker lineup, and institutional backing positioned SACNet 2026 as more than just another industry event. It stood as a bold statement on the growing importance of Abuja as a hub for creative business, culture, and influence.
By bringing together media personalities, entrepreneurs, and cultural facilitators, the summit created valuable intersections capable of shaping the future of entertainment, fashion, content creation, and enterprise in Nigeria’s capital.
