    By A Correspondent

     

    To be held on April 21 and 22 in Mumbai (Taj Lands End), the Click Asia Summit organisers have released the final agenda of five keynote sessions, 18 hybrid TED-style sessions and six 90-minute workshops with more than 55 experts.

     

    Said Kavita Jhunjhunwala, Director of Click Media, which owns Click Asia Summit: “Events form an important aspect for learning and 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 and closing plenary by futurist Robert Scoble is the highlight of the event. Speakers include Markus Keiper of Global Leadership Foundry, Ryan Bonnici of HubSpot Asia Pacific and Japan, Lucy McCabe, VP (Asia-Pacific) at Ogilvy, Ayal Steiner of Outbrain and Heidi Myers from Meltwater. 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 clickasiasummit.com.

    The third edition of Click Asia Summit 2016 is to be held in Mumbai on April 21 and 22 at the Taj Lands End hotel.  Said Kavita Jhunjhunwala, director of Click Media, who is curating the summit: “Digital has been a stepchild in organisations for too long, shuttling between marketing and IT. Digital is demanding a seat at the table and any organisation that doesn’t accept that will find itself in disarray,” she said. This is why the summit’s content is focused on learning and new strategies as well as products that can be part of the digital marketing playbook. The content will be delivered through speeches, open forums and workshops.

     

    Among the speakers are Markus Keiper, director and chief transformation architect, Global Leadership Foundry; Ryan Bonnici, director of marketing, HubSpot Asia Pacific and Japan; Robert Scoble, entrepreneur in residence, UploadVR; Lucy McCabe, VP (Asia-Pacific), Ogilvy Red, Ogilvy & Mather; Avinash Jhangiani, MD, Omnicon Media Group; Babita Baruah, senior VP and head, PO1 Unit, JWT; Mahesh Murthy, founder of Pinstorm, co-founder of Seedfund; Nitin Bawankule, Google’s director of e-commerce, retail, online classifieds, technology, education and government; Jaideep Shergill, co-founder, Pitchfork Partners; and Sakhee Dheer, digital marketing and analytics lead at Microsoft Asia-Pacific.

     

    Meanwhile, in the run-up to the summit, a bloggers’ meet has been organised at Doolally Taproom, Bandra (West) tomorrow, March 22, 4.30 pm to 7 pm. A tweet-up will be part of the event and some of the summit’s speakers will attend. Among those are Seedfund’s Murthy; Omnicom Media Group’s Jhangiani; Aveek Dutta, associate editor, Forbes India; stand-up comedians Anuvab Pal and Aditi Mittal; and representatives from Google, JWT, Ogilvy & Mather, PubMatic and Flipkart.
