About EC Expo 2026
EC Expo 2026 is a telecommunications trade show that took place January 10–11, 2026 at Landmark Centre Lagos in Lagos, Nigeria. It ran for two days, from Saturday to Sunday.
Shows like this one typically draw network operators, engineers, enterprise IT buyers, device makers and infrastructure investors. We have not been able to confirm an official website for this show yet, so contact the organizer before making any plans.

What to expect at EC Expo 2026
Telecom shows are large and technical, with heavy demand for meetings and demos of network, device and infrastructure technology.
Two days go by quickly. Book your most important meetings for the first morning, when visitors are fresh, and keep the second afternoon for follow-up conversations at the booth. At events like this, expect most visitors to be network operators and their colleagues, often with a short list of suppliers they want to see.
How exhibitors should prepare for EC Expo 2026
Planning for the next edition (dates expected, not yet confirmed), here is a working timeline counted back from January 16, 2027:
- 16 weeks before (Sep 26, 2026) · date passed, do it now if you haven't
Confirm your booth space and read the exhibitor manual. Book hotels near Landmark Centre Lagos while rates are still normal. - 8 weeks before (Nov 21, 2026)
Order booth services (power, internet, furniture, cleaning) before the early-rate deadlines, and send graphics to print. - 4 weeks before (Dec 19, 2026)
Ship freight to the advance warehouse if the organizer offers one. Book meetings with the visitors you most want to see. Set up lead capture and train the team on it. - One week before (Jan 9, 2027)
Confirm freight arrived, share the staffing schedule, charge every device, and test your lead capture app with Wi-Fi turned off.
Preparation tips for telecommunications shows
- Book meetings with operators early; their calendars fill fast.
- Prepare demos that do not depend on venue connectivity.
- Bring standards and interoperability details.
Booth tips for EC Expo 2026
- Show live demos with clear performance numbers.
- Ask about network plans and deployment timelines.
- Have engineers available for technical deep dives.
- Walk the hall at Landmark Centre Lagos during move-in to see which entrances and aisles carry the most traffic, and set up your booth so it faces that flow.
- Give every person on the booth a clear role (greeting, demos, qualifying) so nobody waits for someone else to start a conversation.
- If you expect local buyers in Nigeria, bring key material in the local language as well as English, and have prices ready in the local currency.
- Capture every conversation the moment it ends: scan the badge or card, add a one-line note about what the visitor needs, and rate the lead hot, warm or cold. Notes written that evening are already half forgotten.
