Lagos · Saturday 28 November 2026
Career Fair & Graduation
A career fair by day, a graduation and three-discipline showcase by evening — runway, screening and live performance in one night. Meet the community, see the work live, and register on-site. This is the single best day to understand what CBA for Africa really is.
👗 Runway
The Fashion School's graduating designers present their collections on the runway.
🎬 Screening
Films and documentaries from the Film School, premiered to a live audience.
🎤 Live performance
Music from the graduating class — the artists the year's business built.
The finale
The AMEDI Festival showcase.
The 2027 cohort graduates in December 2027 at the AMEDI Festival — the culmination of ten months running a real creative business. Not a ceremony, a showcase: the work goes on stage in front of the industry.
A runway show, a film and documentary screening, and a live performance from the graduating class — paired with a corporate recruitment drive that puts our people in front of the companies hiring them.
