The Landmark Centre, a state-of-the-art event center, is located in the Victoria Island Business District and stands out due to its strategic location and top-notch facilities. WAAS is organized by BtoB Events Limited, a British company specializing in organizing business-to-business events and trade fairs in various industries, focusing on creating networking and business opportunities for participants. Nigeria is the largest economy in Africa, and the automotive industry plays a vital role in its economic growth. Such a trade fair promotes trade in vehicles, spare parts, and accessories, contributing to job creation and income for the local population. The fair provides international and local companies with a platform to showcase their latest technologies and innovations in vehicle manufacturing, spare parts, and accessories.

This promotes technology transfer and modernization of the Nigerian automotive industry. By presenting spare parts and components manufactured in Nigeria, local companies can offer their products to a larger market. This encourages the development of a stronger local production and reduces dependence on imported spare parts. The West Africa Automotive Show brings together a wide range of industry players from vehicle manufacturing, spare parts, maintenance and repair, safety, accessories, and financial services. It presents innovative products and services, promotes the exchange of ideas, and highlights the latest trends in the automotive industry. Event highlights include product demonstrations, workshops, expert forums, and networking events that enable participants to establish business contacts and learn about current developments in the industry. WAAS has quickly established itself as one of the largest automotive trade fairs in West Africa, attracting thousands of visitors and exhibitors from the region and beyond each year.
