An intimate and intriguing
DIGITAL MARKETING SUMMIT
WHERE HUMAN TO HUMAN
connections are priority
Let's start with why!
Why are we organizing the Intrigue Summit?
Simple reason. We are passionate about bridging the gap between the digital and the human world. In an era where everything is going digital, Intrigue Summits bring the world's finest marketers (Decision Makers) together in an atmosphere where they can "talk", debate, ask questions, express emotions, share problems, give solutions and network to build powerful business relationships.
200+ Speakers
Yes you read that right. We aim to have over 200 speakers at the summit. How? Well, every delegate who attends the summit will be able to answer the questions put forward by the audience. He/she will be able to debate and let the audience know their perspective on which marketing technique worked for them and what did they do to solve a marketing puzzle in their organisation. There are no panel discussions. Only Q&As and Debates moderated by 1 or multiple subject matter experts who will also add their POV. We are telling you, this is not an ordinary summit. Be prepared to get intrigued! Register Now. Welcome Marketers to the Intrigue Summit!

Founder at Kasatria Technologies
The people who attended were very high level from very interesting companies that were very relevant to what I was looking for. What I liked about the conference was the level of attendees, their roles, companies and titles, great customer service and hospitality and the networking breaks where I had the chance to speak, learn and do business with other attendees.
