Goafest, the advertising and marketing industry’s convention, has announced its list of speakers for 2019. The three-day convention will see speakers from premier global and Indian advertising, smart technology, software development, entertainment, sports and other sectors.
Presented by the Advertising Club and AAAI, Goafest 2019 will once again see the entire advertising and marketing fraternity come together in Goa from April 11 to 13.
Cricketer Virender Sehwag, Bollywood actors Pankaj Tripathi, Kalki Koechlin and Siddhant Chaturvedi, global advertising maven Gordon Bowen, boxer Mary Kom, creative genius Madonna Badger and authors Navi Radjou and Jaideep Prabhu, will be among many others to address the knowledge sessions.
Nakul Chopra, Chairman, Goafest, said, “At Goafest, our aim has been to create a platform that provides learning, inspiration, collaboration and celebration. Content is the heart of the festival. Jaideep and his team have laboured from August last year to put up this stellar list of speakers. I am sure all delegates – especially the young guns – will have a lot to learn and be inspired from.”
Jaideep Gandhi, Chairman, Industry Conclave and Knowledge Seminars, said, “Every year, we try and bring an array of speakers who will provide a window to the current global perspectives in our ever-changing industry. We bring speakers from allied fields and other arenas like sports to inspire our young talent. I am confident that this year too, the width and depth of our speaker panel will cover all of these facets.”
