An annual event, targeted at the events and experiential industry within India, EEMA is all set to celebrate the 10th edition of the convention under the theme “A Decade of Transformation.”

Since its inception in 2007, EEMA has shown rapid growth in membership to include all significant organised players in the event industry across the length and breadth of the country. The prestigious event will mark the celebration of the 10 successful years of the association, featuring profound panel discussions, workshops, enthralling performances by prominent artists and experiential elements and the presence of high-profile personalities.

The various panel discussions and talks to be held at EEMAGINE 2017 will highlight The Experience Industry leaving no sphere untouched from education to entertainment, sports, culinary, music, technology, arts, travel and tourism and events among others.

Commenting on the occasion, Sabbas Joseph, President, EEMA commented, “We at EEMA are pleased to celebrate our 10th edition focusing on A Decade of Transformation as the core theme keeping in mind how the industry and the country as a whole has grown at an unimaginable pace. We aim to bring together the country’s leading Events and Experiential Marketing industry of India under one unified annual event and recognize and felicitate excellence with the industry's most coveted awards – EEMAX Global.”

Apart from the sessions, the convention will also feature a walk-a-thon titled, WE Care Walk in Association with Pinkathon. The initiative has been planned for the industry to come together to put their force behind creating a gender equal, safe work environment for female employees. Noteworthy acts like the Haka, a never seen before traditional war dance from the Maori people of New Zealand, an eleven-piece sitar symphony and a ten-piece flute symphony to enthrall the guests present will also be a part of the event.

Honouring and celebrating the backbone of the industry, the service providers in the business that have supported the industry to transform and create magic will be facilitated at the Spotlight Awards.
