Can India’s beach paradise Goa, the land of sun and sand, become a world capital for events?
While it hosts large events ranging from conferences to festivals to weddings, is the event
industry in Goa living up to its potential? Is the destination leveraged to potential? What will
it take to unleash the true potential of events in Goa and empower the local event industry
and its myriad stakeholders? How can the event industry across India leverage Goa to mutual
benefit?
To answer the above questions and unlock value for every stakeholder, EVENTFAQS Media
is hosting for the first time ever, a thought leadership and networking forum ‘The Westin Goa
presents Eventful Goa’ on 23 December 2021 from 3.30 to 6.30pm.
Panel discussions, keynotes and networking sessions featuring delegates from the wedding,
MICE, tourism and festival spaces from across India including Goa will be part of the
inaugural edition of the in-person forum.
The opening keynote address will be by Harindra Singh, Chairman and Managing Director,
Percept, followed by another mid-session keynote by Brian Tellis, veteran radio host and
Founder of Fountainhead Promotions and Events. A closing keynote will be delivered by
Viraf Sarkari, Director of Wizcraft International Entertainment.
Among others confirmed to be part of the forum are Sunil Kumar, General Manager, The
Westin Goa; Aman Anand, Director, INCA / Kickstart Entertainment; Jueta and Pratik
Hemdev, YOLO Entertainment and Weddings; Rahul Gomes, Founder and Managing
Director, Oaks Management Consultancy; Niddhi Poddar of Emerald Events; Vijay Arora
Director, Touchwood Group; Aditya Motwane, Motwane Entertainment and Events; and
Prateek Tandon Co-Founder of Copper Events.
Deepak Choudhary, Founder and Director, Eventfaqs Media, said, “We witnessed the rising
potential of Goa as a much bigger event hub than before since the lockdown, when several
creative individuals began to set up base in Goa, as WFH became part of the new normal. I
truly believe Goa has the potential to become India’s entertainment capital and at this summit
we have invited several thought leaders to share their perspective, and to explore
opportunities that Goa presents as a place for events. This will be our closing event before the
year ends and we have invited people from tourism, hotels, MICE and the wedding industry
among other entertainment-based industries to share their views.”
