Quick Answer
Tech events run on a tight published schedule — speakers, sponsors and attendees all need to be at the venue on time, and a shuttle plan that runs itself is one less thing for the organising team to manage on the day.
Lagos hosts a growing calendar of tech conferences, demo days and hackathons, often drawing speakers and attendees who are staying in hotels across Victoria Island, Ikoyi or Lekki while the event runs at a separate venue. A shuttle plan that runs on a fixed schedule between hotel and venue is one of the easier logistics problems to solve well — and one of the most visible if it's handled badly.
Most multi-day conferences run a shuttle on a simple loop — hotel pickup in the morning, return in the evening, with a midday run if the schedule includes an offsite lunch or networking event. A Hiace works well for smaller speaker or sponsor groups, while a Coaster covers larger attendee shuttles between a partner hotel and the main venue.
Keynote speakers and sponsor representatives on a tight personal schedule are usually better served by a smaller vehicle on a dedicated pickup, rather than folded into the general attendee shuttle loop.
A published shuttle schedule that the driver and the organising team both have in writing prevents most day-of confusion.
