Is a curated monthly gathering held on the last Tuesday of every month at Media Valley. Designed as a consistent touchpoint for the creative, media, and innovation community, the event places networking at its heart, creating space for meaningful connection, shared learning, and collaboration. Last Tuesdays is a platform where people come together to exchange ideas, spark partnerships, and stay connected to what’s shaping the future of Africa’s creative economy.

Last Tuesdays exists to strengthen community and unlock opportunity by bringing together professionals who are building, commissioning, producing, funding, distributing, and supporting creative work across the continent.

The series is built around four pillars:

• Networking – real conversations, new relationships, unexpected collaborations
• Learning – short talks, insights, trend-sharing, and practical takeaways
• Sharing – a space to showcase projects, celebrate wins, and support growth
• Screenings – curated moments to experience new work and spark discussion

Each edition of Last Tuesdays offers a relaxed but purposeful environment, combining informal connection with structured moments of value.

Typical elements can include:

• Welcome drinks and open networking
• A snack (or two!)
• A Fireside chat
• Guest-led insights or mini-masterclasses
• Community shout-outs and project sharing
• Optional curated screenings of short films, trailers, pilots, music videos, or works-in-progress
• Time for meaningful follow-up conversations
• Last Tuesdays offers a flexible screening component,
  which may include:
• Emerging filmmaker or creator showcases
• Industry preview screenings for upcoming projects
• Festival or market highlights
• Partner-supported content spotlights
• Audience Q&A or informal feedback sessions

This positions Last Tuesdays as both a networking hub and a space for creative discovery.

Last Tuesdays is aimed at a broad cross-section of the creative and media ecosystem, including:

• Producers, directors, and writers
• Broadcasters, streamers, and commissioners
• Music, publishing, and talent professionals
• Post-production, animation, and VFX studios
• Brand partners and creative agencies
• Investors, funders, and ecosystem builders
• Emerging voices and next-generation creators

Africa’s creative industries are growing rapidly — but opportunity is often fragmented. Last Tuesdays creates a consistent, trusted space where relationships can form outside of major annual markets and festivals.

It helps the industry:

• Stay connected year-round
• Build cross-sector partnerships
• Share knowledge and opportunities
• Showcase new work through screenings
• Strengthen the Media Valley community
• Support talent development and visibility
