The whole business is going digital. It’s a fact. Therefore, along with advertising and marketing, it is important to discuss, compare and evaluate the best examples of effective use of online space by business representatives, who create the most comfortable conditions for consumers to find and access their products and services.

In recent years, search engines, social networks and messengers have become the closest of friends and have almost replaced all other forms of communication. Generations have grown up whose outlook has been shaped to a large extent by Internet information and digital formats. The time has come for frank discussions among professionals about emerging trends and prospects for business and society as a whole. 

At the same time, despite the fact that a huge number of forums dedicated to digital marketing are held all over the world, the peculiarities of the Central Asian region, its consumption culture, development and level of business demand separate attention, exchange of experience and opinions with international profile specialists.

The forum is an opportunity to show one’s achievements, share ideas and plans for the coming year, get to know market leaders, see the best projects, products that will receive awards at the forum by digital metrics based on the achievements of the past year.

Diyor Mirzaahmedov, organiser of the forum and chairman of the board of the Marketing Association of Uzbekistan, said:

"We are creating a new annual platform to communicate and present new and well-known companies providing digital marketing services, active and popular brands paying attention to digital and users of these very technologies, products and services. It is important that all business representatives and participants of the Internet communications market, from novice bloggers and SMM specialists to major investors, should take advantage of this opportunity without exception. The agenda for the next forums will be formed on the basis of each participant’s opinion. For this, as is our tradition, a permanent participant chat room will be created at the forum for discussion, suggestions, and questions to the speakers. I think that this chat room will become the largest discussion platform on digital marketing in Uzbekistan.

We have invited many famous experts in the field of digital marketing, but even more have been approached by venerable speakers, who learned about the upcoming forum and are ready to come, speak and share their expertise. We, as organisers, are above all pleased with the interest that our events are generating. Realizing that the amount of interesting content accumulated in recent years exceeds the possibilities of a single conference day, we decided to make a two-day format for those who want not only to get new knowledge, but also ask their questions to the speakers. See you at the forum soon!"
