Goafest 2026 is set to bring together CEOs, CMOs, and senior brand leaders from over 50 leading companies across sectors, further strengthening its position as one of India’s largest gatherings for marketers, agencies, media professionals, creators, and industry stakeholders.
The festival is expected to witness participation from senior representatives of leading companies including Acko Group, Adani Group, Aditya Birla Group, Ajio, Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI), Britannia, The Coca-Cola Company, Dabur, Emami, Flipkart, Google, Hindustan Unilever, IBM, ITC Limited, PepsiCo, Lenovo, Marico, Nestlé, Nykaa, OnePlus, Swiggy, Taj Hotels, Yum! Brands and Zepto, among several others.
The 2026 edition aims to create deeper engagement opportunities by enabling delegates to directly interact with senior marketing decision-makers. The growing participation of brand leaders further highlights the importance of Goafest as a platform for meaningful industry exchange and collaboration.
Mohit Joshi, Co-Chair of the Goafest 2026 Organising Committee, said, “The growing participation of marketing leaders reflects the increasing importance of collaboration across the industry. Bringing together leaders from over 50 organisations creates opportunities for impactful dialogue, new partnerships and shared learning that benefit the entire ecosystem.”
Adding to this, Jaideep Gandhi said, “Goafest has always stood for one idea: “the entire industry as one force.” Having 50+ leading brands join us alongside agencies, media companies and our trade bodies is a powerful testament to that. When clients, creators and custodians of the industry choose to come together at one place, it reaffirms the responsibility we all share – and the trust the industry places in Goafest to be that common ground”.
Through conversations, networking, and collaborative experiences, Goafest 2026 aims to continue fostering industry dialogue and supporting the future growth of the marketing and media ecosystem in India.
