You are cordially invited to close six days of a national movement. Nigeria Software Testing Week 2026 has carried its theme — The Trust Economy — through classrooms in Enugu, lecture halls in Ilorin, and government chambers in Abuja.

On the evening of Saturday the 24th of October, in Lagos, that movement gathers one final time: to dine, to honour the finest work in Nigerian software quality, and to mark the beginning of the next chapter, together.

Questions

Before You Reserve

Yes. The Dinner Night & Award Ceremony is ticketed separately from the Lagos Summit and can be reserved on its own.
No. Your VIP ticket already includes a seat at the Dinner Night & Award Ceremony — you don't need to reserve separately.
Not at all. A Table of 10 or a Premium Table is equally suited to a group of friends, a family, or a team celebrating the year together.
We ask every guest to honour black tie. It's part of what makes the evening feel the way it does — smart, elegant, and worth dressing up for.
Reservations may be transferred to another guest at any time before the event. Refund terms will be confirmed at the point of booking.

The week has been building to this room.

Reserve your seat, or bring a table of your own, and close NSTW 2026 in Lagos.
