Line-Up

Hey guys!

This is a brief low-down of the event.

Basically, this event is made up of two sessions ; the morning session and the afternoon session.

The highlight of the morning session will be the three dialogue sessions. Three prominent members of the media will be invited on stage (in separate timings, not simultaneously) with a few members of our team and a dialogue session will take place in front of an audience.
