Transforming your Digital Marketing Playbook

Staying relevant in the digital space is a race. Between time, material and knowledge.

Click Asia Summit 2016, one in cohort with marketers, is giving you 7 reasons on how to stay ahead of the race.

1. "Real" content curation

Public Sector Digital Transformation

To lead the conversation, the opening keynote and closing panel will be by Robert Scoble. The Economist says, 'Robert Scoble, known in the blogosphere as "the Scobleizer", is a phenomenon ... his example might mark the beginning of the end of "corporate communications" as we know it.'

His recent move to UploadVR announced just before SXSW 2016 where he was completely focused on cutting edge futuristic technology, shows "mixed reality" will be the next stop in the digital race.

2. Evolving conference format

Panel sessions tend to be unstructured, whereas the onus of carrying a full forty minute speaking session lies heavily on powerpoints rather than speakers.

Click Asia Summit 2016 session runs for an hour and above each, with three speakers delivering a twenty minute TED-style, learning story to the audience on a specific topic and is followed by an open discussion with the audience. A hybrid model which has structure, learning & sharing objectives and an ability to deep dive into the topic. CAS16's agenda includes

4 keynotes, and a keynote panel

18 innovative TED-style learning sessions, and

6 workshops with extensively selected speakers as well as an

Unconference, networking & a comedy evening

All focused on digital marketing & transformation.

2. Lowest sponsored : non-sponsored sessions

Curation comes at a cost. Of time to look through a few hundred speaker applications. To reach out to domain experts as the only way to curate relevant content. It also comes from limiting sponsorships so that there are no sales pitches but just contextual content.

3. No Free Pass

As a niche conference, we do not give out any free passes ( sorry, guys). It's also worth noting that the higher the designation of a person, the more niche conferences he's interested in.

4. Time = money = learning

With more than 55 top-tier speakers on digital transformation, Click Asia Summit 2016 is an event for brands looking at developing their digital roadmap for the next few years and learn how they can spend better.

Two full days of focused learning, hands-on workshops, and high-octane networking.

Networking is supported by the cutting-edge mobile app Event2Mobile, which allows delegates to connect with other delegates in a dedicated networking lounge as well. Pretty neat, no?

5. Proven path of effective events

Born in 2010, the Click Asia brand was designed to bring together relevant content in a conference format. In 2016, Click Asia will also bring across various online formats of learning and interaction amongst the digital community.

Learning by practice, from the experience of others, evaluating data points and in-depth analysis of innovative product information, along with details of how to tackle legacy marketing issues are some of the points that Click Asia Summit 2016 plans to address.

In other words, we know what we're doing. It's "game on, baby"... and we're playing to win.

6. No tired and retired content themes

"I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been."

~ Wayne Gretzky
