WISTA Nigeria is pleased to invite the global WISTA community and key maritime stakeholders to the 8th WISTA Africa conference, scheduled for 25 and 26 June 2026 in Lagos, Nigeria.

As Nigeria’s commercial capital and a major coastal maritime hub, Lagos offers a dynamic environment for strategic dialogue, professional engagement, and cross-border collaboration. The conference will convene leaders and practitioners from shipping, trade, logistics, energy, and the wider blue economy to exchange insights and explore opportunities that strengthen Africa’s maritime competitiveness.

This edition of the WISTA Africa Conference is intentionally structured to move beyond conversations – providing a platform to learn from best practices, expand professional networks, and facilitate partnerships and business deals that deliver measurable value.

WISTA Nigeria looks forward to welcoming delegates to Lagos for a conference defined by excellence, collaboration, and results.

We look forward to welcoming Africa and the world to Lagos for a truly impactful WISTA regional conference.
