There will be conferences, art workshops, theater experiences, mentoring, game and art contests, the whole nine yards, only it will be the vortex way, a hurricane of exciting energy.
Resource persons include celebrated comic actor, Afeeze Saka Oyetoro of Papa Ajasco fame, Microsoft’s Olusolu Amusa, a writer, speaker and radio personality, Ayodele Elegba, Nigerian comic veteran and founder of the Lagos Comic Con and many more with expansive knowledge about creativity and success.
VEXPO takes place from September 5 to September 10. Vortex describes VEXPO as being built on the pillars of entertainment, education and participation, foundations relevant to exciting kids and adults alike enough to imagine, re-imagine and manifest amazing ideas.
