Extra-ordinary General Meeting (EGM)

The EGM of our Association is a forum in the Association’s calendar during which our member firms meet to address topical issues and take vital decisions to reposition the Association for the immediate and future opportunities in the economy of the Nation.

It is a one-day program that promotes healthy, enlightening interactions between member firms, technocrats, and stakeholders in the built environment that are involved in the development of infrastructure in the country. The newest member firms of the Association are also recognised and inducted.

Each year, a theme is carefully chosen to enable attendees to derive tangible and focused benefits from the keynote address and presentations from various seasoned speakers of the plenary sessions at the event.

The EGM is also an effective business platform to:

  1. Advertise relevant products, services, and solutions in the program brochure of the event.
  2. Showcase and pitch various products and solutions for a ready target market (of captains of industry and decision-makers in the private sector as well as government ministries, departments, and agencies) with the exhibition opportunities the event provides. Here, new connections within the industry itself can be formed.
  3. Sponsor the event and build a lasting mutually beneficial relationship with the Association.

For more information on sponsorship packages and how to access these opportunities, please call ACEN via 08037224842 or send an e-mail to info@acen.org.ng.
