The first West African Gaming  Expo (WAGE) is set to begin in Lagos, Nigeria, tomorrow, bringing together African and international game makers.

The organisers said the conference aims to showcase African arts and culture, while also exhibiting international developments in the gaming market.

“WAGE 2014 is set to be a fun day out for the family.  Exhibitors will be displaying games for all age ranges whilst creating an atmosphere where people can be inspired and persuaded to try new things. We believe this is the catalyst to kick start the African gaming revolution,” the organisers said.

The conference and tutorials will see leading game developers and designers educate the audience on how to get the most out of various softwares, while also speaking on current trends in the sector.
