The National Institute of Marketing of Nigeria (NIMN) has announced plans to host its 2025 Annual Marketing Conference (AMC) and Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, from June 19 to 21.
At a press conference held in Lagos, the Registrar of NIMN, Pat Sado, disclosed that the three-day event will bring together top marketing professionals, business leaders, academics, and stakeholders across Nigeria to engage in discussions on emerging trends and sustainable practices in the profession.
This year’s conference, themed “Leveraging ESG in Driving Value Across Generations,” will focus on the role of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations in creating long-term value and responsible innovation within the marketing sector.
“This flagship event provides a vibrant platform for critical discourse, knowledge exchange, and collaboration essential to advancing the marketing profession and its contributions to national development,
“As ESG becomes central to sustainable business strategy, we aim to explore how marketing can be a force for enduring value, not only for brands and shareholders, but for society and future generations,” Sado said.
The Chairman of the Events and Conferences Committee, Sir Jellily Efedi, said the conference will begin on June 19 with a symposium, the induction of about 95 new associate and full members, and the inauguration of the Uyo chapter of the institute.
The second day, June 20, will be dedicated to the main conference, featuring keynote presentations and panel discussions by experts and professionals well-versed in ESG-related topics.
The day will conclude with the Fellows’ Dinner, where between 45 and 50 senior members will be officially invested as Fellows of the Institute.
The AGM will be held on June 21 and is open strictly to members of the Institute. Efedi added that participants will also enjoy cultural tours and entertainment activities as part of the conference experience.
“We chose Uyo not just for its rich cultural heritage but because we want to give attendees a lifetime experience. It’s not only going to be educative but also entertaining,” he said.
