Propak West Africa is held at the Landmark Centre on Victoria Island, Lagos, in September, with the 2026 event marking its 9th edition. It is the region's leading trade fair for packaging, processing, printing, labelling, plastics and food-processing technology, drawing manufacturers, converters, distributors, machinery suppliers and industrial buyers from across Nigeria and West Africa alongside international exhibitors. The show fills the Landmark Centre's halls on Victoria Island, one of Lagos's main business and waterfront districts, and generates a large volume of professional visits over its run. Because Lagos has heavy traffic and Victoria Island concentrates the city's business hotels, rooms near the Landmark Centre and across Victoria Island and neighbouring Ikoyi book out early as exhibitors and buyers prioritise short transfers over long cross-city commutes. Rooms fill during show week and rates rise as the dates approach. Event Escapes shows live, bookable rates sorted by real distance from the Landmark Centre, so you can compare genuinely near-venue hotels rather than guess from a map.

Where to eat during Propak West Africa
Trade-fair days run at Tafawa Balewa Square on Lagos Island, but every serious business dinner happens across the bridge on Victoria Island, Ikoyi or Lekki, where the corporate hotels sit. Budget 15-25 minutes by car to VI/Ikoyi and 30-60 to Lekki depending on the notorious Lagos traffic, so book a driver and leave early.

Open in Google MapsGetting there
From Murtala Muhammed International Airport (LOS)
- LOS is Lagos's main gateway on the mainland, and transfers to Victoria Island can take anywhere from 45 minutes to well over two hours in traffic.
- Arrange a hotel car or vetted transfer in advance rather than relying on airport taxi touts.
- Travel outside peak hours where possible, as the mainland-to-island route congests heavily.
Getting around during Propak West Africa
Reaching the venue on Victoria Island
- The Landmark Centre is on Victoria Island, walkable or a very short drive from many VI and Ikoyi hotels.
- Staying on the island avoids the notorious mainland bridges traffic and keeps daily transfers short.
- Hotel shuttles and pre-booked cars are the most reliable way to reach the halls.
Taxis and rideshare
- Uber and Bolt operate in Lagos and are more transparent than street taxis; confirm the car and driver before boarding.
- Keep valuables out of sight and prefer pre-booked or hotel-arranged transport, especially after dark.
- Build generous time buffers into every journey, as Lagos traffic is highly unpredictable.
Visa & entry
Entry to Nigeria
- Most nationalities require a visa to enter Nigeria; some may be eligible for a visa on arrival or an e-visa scheme.
- Business visitors typically need a business visa, often supported by an invitation letter from the organiser or a local host.
- Proof of yellow fever vaccination is generally required for entry, so carry your certificate.
Entry requirements change; always verify with the official Nigerian Immigration Service or nearest embassy/consulate before booking travel.
