The venue

Obi Wali International Conference Centre, Port Harcourt

Chief G. U. Ake Road, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria.

The tenth edition moves to the Obi Wali International Conference Centre, Port Harcourt's largest purpose-built convention venue. Opened in 2014 and operated by the Rivers State Government, it has hosted the Africa Movie Academy Awards and the West African Architecture Festival, and it gives the Summit something a hotel ballroom could not: a main auditorium, dedicated breakout rooms and a proper exhibition hall under one roof, with parking to match.

It sits in the GRA, a short drive from the business district and from the organisers' own office on Ezimgbu Link Road.

Getting there

By airPort Harcourt International Airport (PHC), Omagwa — roughly 45 to 60 minutes by road depending on traffic. Daily flights from Lagos and Abuja on the major domestic carriers.
From Bonny / NLNGBoat and road connections into Port Harcourt city. Allow extra time on the first morning.
From Onne / ElemeApproximately one hour by road via the East–West Road. Delegate shuttles are arranged when volumes justify it.
From Owerri / Aba / YenagoaComfortable same-day road access. Many delegates from neighbouring states commute rather than stay.

Accommodation

The conference centre does not have rooms of its own, so delegate rates are held at a set of partner hotels within a short drive of it. The list and the booking codes are released with the registration link on 1 October 2026. Book early, because late April is a busy period in Port Harcourt.

Visas

International delegates should email programs@tmiafrica.org after registering for a formal letter of invitation. Allow at least eight weeks before travel. Check current entry requirements with the Nigeria Immigration Service or your nearest Nigerian mission, as these change.
