Where the market actually transacts

Deal Room — your institution, your products, your pipeline

Dedicated institutional spaces where participating financial institutions meet businesses, present financial products and develop potential transactions.

Deal Table — where the ecosystem comes around the transaction

Selected opportunities requiring multiple financial partners bring together banks, insurers, credit guarantors, investors and specialist advisers around one structured conversation.

Not every Marketplace participant enters a Deal Room. Not every opportunity reaches the Deal Table. Access is curated to protect the quality of the market.

Representing a financial institution?

Don't just attend the Marketplace. Participate in it.

Banks, insurers, credit guarantee institutions, DFIs, investment firms and other financial organisations can participate as AFFF Market Partners — a structured platform to bring products to market, engage customers, develop pipeline and join the Deal Table.

Institutional Deal RoomFrom ₦7.5 million

FAQs

Before you register

What does my badge actually give me access to?

Each badge lists its inclusions in full above. Summit access, Marketplace access and accreditation level differ by badge — the Marketplace and Deal Room distinctions matter, so read the inclusions rather than assuming a higher price includes everything below it.

Why does Marketplace Participant require an application?

Marketplace participation is curated against business and project readiness. Approving in advance protects the quality of the market for the institutions who attend expecting investment-ready counterparties. Approved applicants receive a payment link.

Does registering guarantee me a Deal Room meeting or a Deal Table place?

No. Registration is access to the market, not a guaranteed transaction. Deal Room referrals and Deal Table selection are curated separately, and no badge guarantees financing or the completion of a deal.

Can I transfer my badge to a colleague?

Yes. Each badge is issued to a named attendee, and a transfer can be arranged through the registration team up to the start of the event. Contact project@africafilmfinanceforum.com with your reference.

What is your cancellation policy?

Cancellation requests are handled case by case. Write to the registration team with your reference as early as you can — the closer to the event, the less likely a refund becomes.

I represent a bank or an insurer. Should I buy a Finance & Investment badge?

A Finance & Investment badge is individual delegate access for financial-sector professionals. If your institution wants to bring products to market, host a Deal Room or join the Deal Table, that is Market Partner participation — see the section below.

Can I pay from outside Nigeria?

Yes. Checkout accepts international cards, and prices are shown and charged in naira.

Don’t just attend AFFF.
