This April, Mumbai welcomes Click Asia Summit 2016

Mumbai : The past couple of years have seen India’s digital products & services appetite increase manifold. Once an exporter of technology, today, India’s corporate sector has increased its market share as a buyer of technology services & products. Reasons range from managing competitiveness, increase in awareness, knowledge sharing of global practices, a bid to increase productivity and so on.

However, the digital playbooks of most organizations are not there yet.

Click Asia Summit 2016 plans to fulfil this knowledge gap by providing an event focused on deep insights from five key players in digital transformation: product companies, platforms, practioners & consultants, brands & enterprises and disruptors.

Held over two days 21st & 22nd of April, at the Taj Lands End, which has been home to the previous editions of the event as well, Click Asia’s agenda has 5 keynote sessions, 18 hybrid TED-style sessions and 6 ninety-minute workshops with more than 55 experts.

As a niche event with an interesting format, Click Asia’s headline sponsor IBM will bring in in-depth content from their vast knowledge repository for the attendees.

Kavita Jhunjhunwala, Director of Click Media, which owns Click Asia Summits, is set to create IP-based conferences & events that are designed for the Asian markets. “Events form an important aspect for learning & business development. It is an essential component of growth and unlikely to go out of fashion anytime soon. However, there is a lack of Asia-focused events in various verticals and that’s exactly what Click Media’s objective for the next five years is.”

A keynote session & closing plenary by Robert Scoble is something that you would not want to miss. In India for the first time, Robert has been ahead of the technology curve and has earned the moniker of ‘futurist’ with his successful crystal ball gazing abilities.

Speakers include Markus Keiper, of Global Leadership Foundry; Ryan Bonnici of HubSpot Asia Pacific and Japan; Lucy McCabe, VP (Asia-Pacific), Ogilvy, Ayal Steiner of Outrain, Heidi Myers from Meltwater to name a few. The speakers also include thought leaders from Google, Facebook, Twitter, Event2Mobile, Titan, Myntra, Flipkart, Taboola, Web Spiders, Pinstorm, JWT, Omnicom, Reliance, Pitchfork Partners, Mahindra & Mahindra to name a few. The complete list is available at the website mentioned below.

The agenda includes wide ranging topics as “food for digital thought” both for the CIO as well as the CMO. The 20-minute TED style learning focused sessions shall be on success & failure stories, digital transformation challenges and hacks, case studies, global best practices and all sessions will follow in-depth Q&A sessions in person as well as the event app. Updated agenda is available on the website.

Click Asia also plans to continue the route of learning via regular webinars with thought leaders along with a APAC footprint of more events. The ‘5 Questions series with speakers’ is one such initiative for knowledge sharing.

Attendees at Click Asia Summit shall also get full access to Event2Mobile, an enterprise SaaS event app, that will provide them full conference information and interactive features to set up meetings with other delegates as well as live Q&A. This will amp the engagement of the attendees and shall be available post-event as well. A dedicated networking lounge facilitates these meetings.
