Day Six

The National Quality Hackathon Finale

Where the week's biggest bets get judged, live.

The National Quality Hackathon reaches its finale on this stage, pitched live in the morning, judged live in the afternoon. This is the commercial heart of NSTW 2026: FinTech, enterprise engineering, and the country's testing talent, all in one room.

Why you need to be in this room

The moment the whole week has been building toward.

By 2:50pm on October 24th, a leaderboard goes up on a screen in Lagos, and for the teams who've spent the week competing, the next ten minutes decide how their year ends.

Everyone else in the room watches it happen live. Not in a recap thread the next morning. Not in a press release three weeks later. Live, on stage, with the FinTech and enterprise leaders who might be hiring the person standing next to the winning name.

This is the last major public day of NSTW 2026, and it does not feel like a closing ceremony. It feels like the moment the week was always heading toward, because it is.

Whether you're here to compete, to hire, to learn from people doing this at scale, or just to watch Nigeria's testing community show up in full force: this is the room, and this is the day.

On Dinner Night.

Because the Summit and the Gala both happen in Lagos, on the same Saturday, VIP is the only tier built to carry you straight through, Summit by day, Dinner Night & Award Ceremony by evening, one ticket. Regular and Standard are complete Summit experiences on their own, the stage, the Hackathon finale, the workshops and mentorship in your tier, all included. Dinner Night is not part of those tiers, and nothing on this page implies otherwise.

Not VIP, but want the Gala too? Dinner Night & the Award Ceremony is available as its own standalone ticket, see the Day Six Evening page to book it separately.
