What We Do

Photo: International Fertilizer Development Center (IFDC) launched “HortiNigeria” to boost the horticulture segment of the agricultural industry in Nigeria on March 3, 2022 in Abuja. The four years program (November 2021-November 2025), funded by the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, targets four crops: tomatoes, pepper, onion and okra, in four pilot states of the country (Ogun, Oyo, Kano and Kaduna). IFDC entrusted the hosting and publicity for the event to Alford Conferences Limited.

Established in April 2014, Alford Conferences Limited is an event production company that serves businesses, governments, and other organizations across Europe and Africa. The company operates in three main divisions: event production; publishing; and event publicity, marketing and management. We do our own events. And we help others to do their own.

EVENT PRODUCTION
World Digital Exhibition (WORLDEX): established in June 2020, World Digital Exhibition (WORLDEX) is now in its 5^th annual edition. The global technology trade fair links up Africa more effectively with the global tech community. Nigerian States IGR Awards: established in September 2020, Nigerian States IGR Awards is now in its 5^th annual edition. IGR stands for internally generated revenue. The event spurs a healthy competition among Nigeria’s 37 subnational governments towards transforming their taxation systems and substantially raising the amount that they generate from internal sources, outside the monthly allocations that they receive from the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN). Nigeria Food Surplus Summit: we plan to birth this annual event in November 2024. The summit is inspired by The Netherlands, the second largest agricultural exporter in the world today, next to the United States of America. The summit seeks to help Nigeria to successfully feed itself and have a large surplus for export by strengthening four critical segments of the country’s agricultural industry: commercial farming, food processing, farm mechanization, and commercial bank lending to agriculture.
