I read the programme (thanks Nadim) and the interview. It is
unlikely that I would be able to contribute anything which might be
of interest to this group or to myself.

Yes.

The programme for this conference does not make it look like a place
for discussion or analysis.

I only heard about the company organising this conference a few days
ago. The managing director of the company mentioned in 2014 in an
interview that it is better to invest in emarketing for Rs 3000
instead of having a billboard which costs Rs 125 000.

It is an opportunity for anyone who can afford not being at work for
a day. There isn't a lot of information about the conference. I am
not sure whether it will be good for networking.
