Goafest, South Asia’s premier festival celebrating creativity and advertising excellence in India, is thrilled to announce the opening of delegate registrations for its highly anticipated 18th edition. Delegates can secure their spots at the Super Early Bird rates until 07th April, 2025 with significantly discounted fees.

Scheduled to take place from May 21st to 23rd at Taj Cidade de Goa Heritage and Horizon, Goa, Goafest 2025, promises to be a landmark industry event, fostering innovation, collaboration, and inspiration. As an annual gathering, it brings together professionals from across the advertising, media, and marketing landscape to exchange ideas, learn from industry leaders, and celebrate groundbreaking work.

With Amazon MX Player as the title sponsor, Goafest 2025 introduces the captivating theme ‘Ignite ______’, encouraging attendees to push the boundaries of creativity and embrace innovation. The newly introduced Goafest Village concept will offer an immersive, experiential environment designed to spark inspiration and facilitate networking, further enhancing the delegate experience. With an exciting line-up of keynote speakers, panel discussions, workshops, and networking opportunities, this year’s festival is set to provide delegates with valuable insights and the inspiration needed to ignite their creativity and drive success.

To make the festival even more accessible, Goafest 2025 has introduced a Super Early Bird registration slab with significantly reduced fees for those who register by 07th April, 2025. A special category has also been introduced for advertiser delegates who are members of the Indian Society of Advertisers (ISA), offering them a flat fee of ₹10,000 for registrations before April 7th and ₹15,000 thereafter. Furthermore, students from up to 10 selected institutes will be invited with early bird delegate fee of ₹10,800 till 7th April, and a regular fee of ₹14,500 post 8th April. To garner significant delegate registrations from the agency-side, agencies sending more than 50 delegates and more than 100 delegates will also be eligible for exclusive discounts.

Sam Balsara, Chairman of the Delegates Committee – Goafest 2025, expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming event, stating, “Goafest has had a fantastic journey so far. I don’t think any event of our industry or perhaps of any other industry, has grown in stature and influence, the way Goafest has. It has, today, become the most important landmark event of the year in this part of the world. Last year, we were thrilled to welcome 2,893 delegates, and our vision is to see 10,000 delegates benefit directly from this vibrant platform. With a larger venue and the unwavering support of our media partners, we have kept delegate fees in check, ensuring greater accessibility. The additional concessions that we have introduced this year will help us move closer to our long-term vision. I eagerly look forward to connecting with all our delegates in Goa, celebrating creativity, and sharing in the energy that makes Goafest truly special.”
