MILLENNIAL 20/20 SUMMIT RETURNS TO SINGAPORE: DOUBLE THE SIZE, DOUBLE THE EXPERIENCES

SINGAPORE, 5 July
2017 –
Returning to the iconic ArtScience museum this October for a highly anticipated
second edition since its Asia debut last year, Millennial 20/20 Summit doubles
its offerings this year to encompass more speakers, content and interactive
experiences for visitors.

While last year’s summit set the stage
for understanding the landscape in a millennial generation where innovation,
disruption and technology are key components of its future, this year’s edition
will shine the spotlight on solutions, values and technologies in commerce that
are integral to business success.

Held on 25 and 26
October 2017, this year’s summit takes on a futuristic
twist and will premiere new showcases from the all-new Finance industry
sector track – bringing together retail banks, private wealth management,
personal finance, fintech start-ups and investors – along with panel
presentations on hot topics such as AI & Robotics and Virtual
Reality and personalised networking opportunities.
Attendees to the summit will be able to book networking opportunities with
panellists and speakers via an online matching portal, which will launch in
September 2017.

“Millennial 20/20 this year is all about
connecting audiences with experiences and solutions that will empower them for
the future economy. It is not just a conference. Visitors will be able to
explore the latest technologies that are shaping the market live in action
through demonstrations, VR experiences and case-study led presentations. On top
of this, there will also be more focused meet-ups and behind-the-scenes events
where smaller groups come together to tackle a particular topic in detail,”
said Rupa Ganatra, Founding Partner, Millennial 20/20.

Across three conference stages, the
summit will host over 200 speakers covering topics such as Marketing, Retail, Innovation, E-Commerce, Video, Mobile
Advertising and Big-Data. More than 3,000 attendees are
expected, bringing together brands, retailers and e-tailers across the Asia Pacific
region from industry segments spanning Food & Beverage, Finance, Fashion
& Beauty and Travel and Hospitality.

Discussions will centre on how companies
can build brand authenticity, innovative experiences and trust in a market
landscape that idolises convenience, borderless shopping, digital interactions
and multi-dimensional experiences – traits that are typically attributed to the
“millennial mindset” of today’s customer.

“Whether you are a Baby Boomer,
Generation X, Millennial or Gen Z, there is a little bit of millennial in each
of us. We are at a unique time in the industry where large and small businesses
are dealing with a more-complex and ever-evolving consumer that requires them
to think of innovation, disruption and technology as key components of their
future. Millennial 20/20 aims to address this like no other event series has
done before,” added Simon Berger, Founding Partner of Millennial 20/20.

engage with a padded line-up of speakers such as Jakob Sebastian Angele, CEO,
