About EV Alliance Forum

EV Alliance Forum is an automotive conference expected to take place February 7, 2027 at Eko Convention Centre in Lagos, Nigeria. It is a one-day event on a Sunday. With about 16 weeks to go, exhibitors still have time to order booth services and book hotels at reasonable rates.

Shows like this one typically draw OEM and tier suppliers, dealers, fleet managers, aftermarket buyers, engineers and service professionals. 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 EV Alliance Forum

Automotive shows range from engineering-focused supplier events to aftermarket and dealer expos. Expect product-heavy displays, technical buyers and strong interest in new technology, electrification and service.

With a single day on the floor, every hour counts: arrive early, keep breaks short and in shifts so the booth is never empty, and book any important meetings before the doors open. Expect most visitors to be OEM and tier suppliers and their colleagues, often with a short list of suppliers they want to see.

How exhibitors should prepare for EV Alliance Forum

Here is a working timeline counted back from the opening day, February 7, 2027 (expected date, so adjust once it is confirmed):

1. 16 weeks before (Oct 18, 2026)
   Confirm your booth space and read the exhibitor manual. Book hotels near Eko Convention Centre while rates are still normal.
2. 8 weeks before (Dec 13, 2026)
   Order booth services (power, internet, furniture, cleaning) before the early-rate deadlines, and send graphics to print.
3. 4 weeks before (Jan 10, 2027)
   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.
4. One week before (Jan 31, 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 automotive shows

• Know whether the audience is OEM, aftermarket, dealer or consumer, and adjust your message for it.
• Arrange vehicle or large-part display logistics early, including fuel and battery rules for indoor halls.
• Bring part numbers, compatibility lists and distributor details for aftermarket buyers.

Booth tips for EV Alliance Forum

• Put the product in visitors' hands or let them see it working; automotive buyers judge quality physically.
• Ask about volumes and current suppliers to size the opportunity quickly.
• Keep a technical expert available for engineering questions during peak hours.
• Walk the hall at Eko Convention Centre 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.
