The 20th edition of ad:tech, an annual gathering of the most influential brands, agencies, publishers, and technology providers to explore the future of marketing through meaningful face-to-face interactions, will be held on 17 and 18 March 2026 in New Delhi.

The event showcases the latest trends in the digital ecosystem, creating a unique marketplace where marketing, technology, and media professionals converge to exchange insights and discover the groundbreaking innovations shaping the digital economy.

In a special series, we ask previous attendees how the event has helped them with their careers and growth.

Here's what Deepak Oram, senior vice president (SVP) - growth marketing and Martech, HDFC Bank, had to say:

"Events like ad:tech New Delhi are important because they bring together the builders of the modern marketing ecosystem — brands, platforms, and technology partners. As marketing moves from automation to autonomy and mass communication to mass personalisation, these conversations become critical for shaping the future of the industry."
