Helping people gather, celebrate and do business
Shows.ng is an event technology company. Organisers, businesses and communities use our apps to sell tickets, manage their guest lists and host events in person or online.
Who we are
Since August 2023, we have been building for the people who make events happen: promoters filling concert halls, companies organising conferences, families planning celebrations and performers looking for their next stage.
Our apps let organisers sell tickets in naira and other currencies, scan tickets at their venue with a phone, stream events online and book talent, so they can spend their time on the event itself.
Our mission
To make every event easier to organise and easier to attend.
Events are where communities grow, careers start and businesses meet their customers. Making them work better is what gets us up every day.
Our vision
A future where anyone with an idea can host an event as well as the best organisers in the world, and every guest can book and attend without stress.
We want a church harvest, a tech conference and a sold-out concert to have the same dependable tools, and every guest to trust the ticket they buy.

The team
We are a small, close team learning something new every day while we build something that lasts.
Our values
These are the ideas we return to when we make decisions.
-
Respect people's money and time
Organisers trust us with their income and guests trust us with their plans. We treat every ticket, payout and refund with that in mind.
-
Be honest and clear
Share work early, ask for feedback and say exactly what we mean. When something goes wrong, we say so and fix it.
-
Show up on the day
An event date cannot move. We plan ahead, own our work and make sure our apps are ready when organisers and guests need them.
-
Keep it simple
Refine ideas until they are easy to explain, then make them just as easy to use.
-
Treat people with care
Be kind to teammates, organisers and guests, especially on a busy day. Say thank you and sorry often.
-
Keep learning
Every event teaches us something. We try new things, learn from our mistakes and get a little better each day.
