Arterial Network members and Steering Committee (governing board), both at national and continental levels, convene every year to discuss constitutional and business matters regarding the Network. Every 2 years, these activities also include election of a new Steering Committee to pilot the affairs of the Network.

The focus of the 2018 General Assembly of Arterial Nigeria is the economic empowerment of members in particular and Nigerian creative entrepreneurs in general. It will feature a Special Interactive Forum marking the formal take-off of Arterial Nigeria Enterprise Support Program (ESP), an initiative designed to provide pro bono legal support for Nigerian artists and creative entrepreneurs in partnership with Nigeria's leading commercial law firm Ajumogobia & Okeke. This forum will provide opportunity for creative industry stakeholders to have a deeper understanding of how the ESP will assist artists and entrepreneurs in their documentation for better access to funding, sponsorship, favourable contracts, tours, Intellectual Property protection and other business opportunities.

A new Steering Committee of Arterial Network members in Nigeria will also be inaugurated during the General Assembly.
