PROMOTING ENTERPRISE
The Guaranty Trust Fashion Weekend is a consumer-focused fashion exhibition and capacity-building event that aims to promote enterprise within the fast-growing Nigerian Fashion Industry.
The Guaranty Trust Fashion Weekend is a consumer-focused fair and free business platform designed to showcase the best of Africa’s Fashion to a global audience whilst promoting the effervescent enterprise of the continents growing fashion industry.
Created in 2016, The Guaranty Trust Fashion Weekend has become one of the continent’s leading platforms for showcasing Africa’s Finest and promoting real commerce for small businesses in the fashion industry.
This year, the Guaranty Trust Fashion Weekend is scheduled to hold on November 9th and 10th, 2024. The two-day event will feature fashion-leaders and industry experts from around the world while providing hundreds of indigenous small fashion businesses with the opportunity to expand their online presence, reach new markets, and position their businesses for sustainable growth.
In addition to its innovative fashion retail experiences, the 2024 Guaranty Trust Fashion Weekend will feature a series of online masterclasses facilitated by renowned fashion industry experts. A “must-attend” for entrepreneurs and fashion enthusiasts, the masterclasses have been designed to deliver the same quality in content and engagement as previous years, through interactive webinars that will focus on exploring new and exciting ways to build and sustain fashion brands in these times and the future.
The Runway Show will also keep its place at the 2024 GTCO Fashion Weekend. Designed with current realities in mind, the Runway Show will feature a carefully curated ensemble of bold and enthralling fashion statements by Africa’s Finest Fashion Brands.
Small businesses account for over 70% of the global economy. So for us, there could be no greater value than empowering small businesses and providing exciting lifestyle experiences for our customers.
This is why over the last decade we have sponsored a wide range of consumer-focused events, and in the last five years, created Free Business Platforms such as the GTBank Food and Drink Fair and the GTBank Fashion Weekend.
We believe that with people’s spending often limited to taking care of basic needs—what to eat and what to wear, atop them—if we focus on promoting enterprise in food and fashion, we would be propelling local entrepreneurs to dominate two critical sectors of our economy.
Since the inception of these events, they have become the premier meeting point in Africa, bringing together tens of thousands of people from across the continent and beyond to support and celebrate Nigeria’s vibrant and burgeoning small businesses. Over the last five years, the events have hosted more than 1,000,000 people, featured dozens of entrepreneurial masterclasses by international chefs and food business experts, and launched or propelled the businesses of hundreds of entrepreneurs.
We are proud of our work and achievements in helping small businesses thrive, but understand that more needs to be done. That’s why every day we challenge ourselves to provide the right answers to the existential and pertinent question: how do we do more to enrich the lives of our customers?
Deadline: September 31st
