This was not a year we walked alone.
It was built in rooms filled with collaboration, pressure, courage, creativity, and care. It was shaped by a community of people who showed up consistently, challenged ideas thoughtfully, supported the vision, and stood firm even when the work demanded more than comfort.
Culture has always been at the heart of what we do. Not as a buzzword, but as a responsibility. Through Livespot360, Entertainment Week Africa, and Detty December Fest, we told African stories at scale, created platforms that amplify voices, and built moments that live beyond the stage. These projects reminded us that culture is alive, evolving, and sustained by people who believe in it.
Women’s advocacy also remains deeply personal and purposeful for me. With the launch of Women Driving Culture, we brought together notable women actively driving change across industries. Each year continues to reinforce why representation, access, and leadership matter, not in theory, but in practice. I remain grateful to the women who build boldly, speak clearly, and support one another in ways that move industries forward. To our sponsors and partners: thank you for trusting us. For investing not just in events, but in ideas, ecosystems, and long-term impact. Your belief makes ambition executable.
To the creatives, producers, teams, vendors, and collaborators across every project: your excellence, resilience, and commitment remain the true engine behind every milestone we reach. To our community, audiences, supporters, critics, and believers, thank you for listening, engaging, and holding us accountable. Your presence gives meaning to the work.
As we look ahead, our commitment remains the same: to build thoughtfully, lead with integrity, protect culture, and create with intention. We move forward together, clearer, stronger, and grounded in what truly matters.
With gratitude,
Deola Art Alade Group CEO,
