Benefits of the HostingCon India 2016
More than 2,300 attendees have registered their stalls at the Nesco grounds already, and more can still register in person. There are many benefits of joining the HostingCon.
One of the main reasons is that the returns on investment (ROI) of participants from attending these events have soared. The HostingCon India 2016 exhibition conference helps attendees and exhibitors by:
- Bringing clients and customers face to face: Online businesses do not require partners and stakeholders to physically meet; however, knowing the face of your customers not only makes working with them so much easier, but it also builds trustworthiness, accountability, and motivation.
- Promoting learning and knowledge sharing: Over 20 speakers share their knowledge over speaking sessions, and six workshop sessions provide practical hands-on training for professionals in the relevant fields. Knowledge, in the right direction, spells success. Being coached by Dakshesh Verma, Head, Marketing – ZNetLive, Aditya Chauhan, Chief Evangelist – NowFloats, or Prakhar Bindal, CEO – NameKart doesn’t happen every day.
- Bringing together various groups and representatives: Industry leaders, CEOs, account directors, founders of companies, sales development managers, media professionals, and hosted services professionals from all over the globe, with an India focus, participate in the event creating an opportunity to interact with representatives from all over the tech-sphere. This directly leads to innovation and also throws in a networking opportunity like nothing else.
- Offering the global web hosting, domain, and cloud market in a nutshell: India accounts for the fastest growing internet audience worldwide and has over 400 million internet users. Addressing the Indian market from a single stage automatically optimizes the marketing drive for any company or organization.
- Displaying, exhibiting, and demonstrating your new product to the whole Indian market: Not only does this boost your confidence and sales, but you also receive valuable feedback that enables you to improve your business.
- Enabling businesses to explore new products, new ideas, and exceptional educational programs: Nothing enriches the human minds more, thus directly influencing skills, aptitude, imagination, and ideation. In short, your company’s human resources just got a booster from the conference.
