Some days remind you why showing up in person still matters. August 22, 2026 was one of those days. Our team spent it at DIGITALCONFEX 2026, the 4th Information Technology Confex held in New Delhi, and came home with full notebooks, new friends and one very special award.

What DIGITALCONFEX 2026 was all about

DIGITALCONFEX brings together leaders from across the technology and business ecosystem, and this edition did not disappoint. The sessions and hallway conversations kept circling four big themes, and each one has real consequences for how businesses will operate over the next few years.

Artificial intelligenceHow teams are moving past experiments and putting AI to work in daily operations, marketing and customer research.
CybersecurityWhy security is now a boardroom topic, and what growing companies should fix before it becomes expensive.
Digital transformationThe gap between buying tools and actually changing how a business runs, and how to close it.
Future of technologyWhere the Indian tech ecosystem is heading, and the role of community events in getting it there.

Representing Survey Kiwi as a sponsor

We were proud to attend representing Survey Kiwi, which sponsored the event. It was a great platform to show how organisations can make better use of surveys, forms and feedback, turning the opinions of customers and employees into decisions instead of leaving them in a spreadsheet nobody opens.

The most rewarding part was the quality of conversations. Founders, professors, security leaders and product people from companies large and small, all generous with their time and ideas. A big thank you to the DIGITALCONFEX team for creating a space where those conversations happen naturally.

Why we make time for events like this

It is easy to treat conferences as a day away from real work. We see it differently. The best ideas in our industry rarely arrive by email. They come from a chance conversation over chai, a question asked after a panel, or watching how another team solves a problem you thought was yours alone.

Every event we attend feeds directly back into the work we do for clients, whether that is understanding where AI is genuinely useful in marketing, or hearing first hand what growing businesses are struggling with online. Grateful for the conversations, the connections and the ideas. Looking forward to many more.
