The first edition of ad:tech India has been a much awaited event on the calendar. A 15 year old brand ad:tech is a global digital marketing event that provides insights to media, marketing and technology professionals on the changing digital world. The first edition produced by dmg:events in partnership with NetworkPlay in India started with a bang on Wednesday, 27th April at the Leela Kempinski, New Delhi.
The Day 1 was a packed affair with parallel tracks, sponsored workshops, large exhibition area all providing great opportunities for both learning and networking. Like one gets to see ladies flaunt their Gucci bags at a fashion week, the event had iPads, iPods, flip cameras galore. We took some quick on the go videos at the sessions which we have shared in this post.
