NAES 2026

Yes — completely and permanently free. Every Nigerian artisan and youth can register and attend NAES 2026 at no cost whatsoever. Registration also activates your TRAAN membership if you are not already a member. Visit the Register page to sign up.

The Summit is scheduled for August or September 2026 in Ibadan, Oyo State. The exact date and venue will be announced via traan.ng and all TRAAN and TAUON social media channels. Register now and you will be notified the moment the date is confirmed.

NAES 2026 will include an officially adjudicated attempt at the Guinness World Record for the Largest Simultaneous Demonstration of Artisan Trades — thousands of artisans across 50+ trade categories performing their craft at the same time. Every registered artisan participant becomes part of the attempt.

Yes. NAES 2026 is a national event open to artisans from all 36 states and the FCT. The event is anchored in Ibadan and the 7 Southwest states, but any Nigerian artisan can register and attend. Travel and accommodation support for out-of-state artisans will be announced closer to the date.

TRAAN (Tradesmen & Artisans Association of Nigeria) is a national membership and registration body for artisans — providing verified identity, a national directory, and economic programmes. TAUON (Tradesmen & Artisans Union of Nigeria) is the umbrella union representing artisan associations across all states. Both organisations are co-hosting NAES 2026 — bringing their combined membership and reach together for this historic event.
