About the event
Senior leaders from banks, fintechs, and regulators gather to make sense of CBN's new data localization requirements, and what they mean for Nigeria's financial services sector.
Spark, the organizers of the Africa Technology Expo, builds platforms—including the monthly Spark Roundtables—that bring together industry leaders to unpack major developments, make sense of a rapidly evolving landscape, and provide clear direction for growth across Africa.
This is a three-hour, invite-only townhall featuring candid discussions from practitioners in the room, structured audience participation, and live Q&A with both in-person and virtual attendees across Nigeria and the continent.
The CBN's data localization directive has profound implications for how fintechs store, process, and transmit transaction data. Most organisations are still navigating what full compliance looks like in practice. This roundtable cuts through the noise.
A limited townhall with 20 curated seats. Application only, designed for decision-makers who want to engage directly with the discussion rather than just observe. The venue is shared exclusively with approved guests.
An open YouTube Live broadcast with interactive Q&A. No approval required. Your access link is confirmed and delivered immediately upon registration. Ideal for leaders joining from outside Lagos.
