Dig-IT – Marketing Innovation – What the Flux

Pakistan Advertisers Society are once again organizing the Dig-it digital marketing conference that they did way back in 2012. It’s really interesting that there has been a dearth of marketing seminars and conferences in this part of the world for the last couple of years, and now all of a sudden you’ve got two marketing seminars in a span of one week. The choice of day, however, is not good. You don’t want to organize a conference with a packed schedule on a day like Friday when there’s a  long break for Jumma.

It would be interesting to see how the organizers manage it all. But I’ve got a feeling it’s not going to be smooth sailing.

The objectives of the platform remains to:

• Address issues that the Pakistani digital industry is facing.
• Promote local talent and give them voice thereby fostering innovation.
• Bring in international expertise to help build up the local industry where needed.
• Help build skill-sets by providing organized training and inspiration platforms.
