10 lessons you will learn at EEMAX Global this year
1. Creativity
Creativity and innovation take frontier position in events, but developing the sense of ‘new’ every time poses serious challenges to the crew. Well, good news for those who wish to be relieved of this creative block. The secrets to marry creativity with scale will be shared by none other than the father figure of the advertising industry, the amply talented Prasoon Joshi, Chairman, APAC, McCann World Group. At present times, when boundaries between creativity and content are almost blurred, Prasoon’s contributions span the entire horizon and leaves its mark. From Cannes lions to Filmfare, he has won it all.
Also present will be Rajkumar Hirani, facilitator of huge box office hits like 3 Idiots, Munnabhai MBBS. The industry will definitely be witness to novel insights from the two masterminds.
2. Femininity
Roshan Abbas will be there with a special rendition of The Storytellers that feature “Women in Events’. Expect to hear powerful stories by women with diverse experiences and revel in the feminine energy. While the suspense about the lady speakers continues, the names that are afloat of certain divas inspire expectations and include Sushma Gaikwad, Tabassum Modi, Anushree Agarwal and Kubra Sait.
3. Euphoria
Entertainment is indispensable for events and EEMAX Global will be replete with plenty of it. This conjugation of event marketers promises to present sprinklings of varied musical treats in the course of the days. While there are Acapella performances by RaagaTrippin, and Voctronica, beats will have their fair share with Arjun Kanungo and Akkriti Kakkar’s rhythmic cornucopia of music. While the treats do not end there, it is a teaser to ensure nobody misses the opportunity to reserve a place for themselves.
4. Learn to think out-of-the-box
Learn from the results of an out of the box experiential campaign, to triumph over competition. Be enthralled by the story of the Survival Billboard, an experiential campaign by Momentum, that preceded the launch of The Ride of the Tomb Raiders and succeeded to distinguish it from all the other games being launched around that time. Luke D'arcy, President, Momentum will elaborate how rising to the challenge is sometimes the only and the best option.
5. Amplification
Its the era of hyperconnectivity, experience and its augmentation are intertwined. Whether its media that carries word of an event or an event that glorifies a media presentation, geometric amplification is a vital tool. Learn the tricks of the trade, from veterans, who are both, thought leaders in the field of media and entertainment.
EEMAX Global presents Sudhansu Vats, Group Ceo Viacom 18, and Karthikeya Sharma, MD ITV Media network who are proponents in the complex landscape of media and events, with celebrated ventures like Vh1 Supersonic MTV VMAI, Nickelodeon KCA, Comedy Central Chuckle Festival and Pro-Wrestling League amongst others.

A fragmented industry, but a large and promising one, was brought together in a way that partnerships and toplines grew significantly in a noticeably short span of time. The man behind EEMA may well be felicitated for it.
