AgencyCon 2020 Panel Discussions: Experts probe into potential realities & trends for future

As we prepare to go Live on ZOOM from 11 AM tomorrow with the second edition of AgencyCon: Indian Agency Award & Summit 2020, we provide you a sneak-peek into our panel discussions where experts attempt demystifying potential realities.

As Rabindranath Tagore rightly said, "You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water", similarly, inaction can only breed a lack of result and ignorance. The current times summon us to muster all our courage and gather a command in our actions, to have the resilience to withstand all adversities and just move forward. Following this thought, we are ready to bring to you our flagship event- AgencyCon: Indian Agency Awards and Summit 2020 online to go Live tomorrow at 11 AM on ZOOM.

This event is our endeavor to give a tribute to the outstanding contributions of the agency leaders & teams & to enable dialogue that would help Agencies learn, unlearn, and relearn the dynamics of the Agency Trade.

With the theme revolving around 'Agencies VS COVID-19', we have slated invigorating panel discussions at AgencyCon 2020 where industry experts will discuss the present & the future of the business of agencies.
