The Advertising Agencies Association of India (AAI) and The Advertising Club (TAC) have decided to host Goafest 2024 and the ABBY Awards Powered By One Show 2024 in Mumbai with consideration for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. This decision was made consciously and collaboratively. The festival’s 17th edition will be held at Mumbai’s Westin Powai from May 29 to May 31, 2024. The future editions of the festival will take place in Goa.
Mumbai’s Goafest will present the best in creativity, expertise, and networking for the media, marketing, and advertising sectors. The event, which attracts more than two thousand business professionals every year, was expected to see more participation this year, including from sponsors. The organizing committee of Goafest would like to thank all of the partners, participants, and stakeholders for their cooperation and understanding. The Advertising Club (TAC) and the Advertising Agencies Association of India (AAAI) reassure one another of their shared commitment to bringing the Goafest experience to Mumbai.
