Welcome to Season 3 of the Connected TV Asia Symposium!

Following the remarkable success of our first two seasons across Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Jakarta, we’re excited to unveil the next chapter in our journey through the ever-evolving world of Connected TV. This year, we’re taking a deeper dive into how CTV is reshaping the advertising landscape across Asia.
Theme: The Interactive Revolution: Transforming CTV from Passive Viewing to Active Engagement
Connected TV is no longer just about passive viewing — it’s become a dynamic, interactive space that merges entertainment, data, and measurable outcomes. In today’s landscape, CTV is evolving into a performance-led, innovation-fueled medium that’s redefining how audiences engage with content.
As India’s financial capital and a major marketing hub, Mumbai sets the perfect stage for Season III of the Connected TV Asia Symposium. This edition dives deep into platform-led product innovation, CTV’s integration in omnichannel strategies, and the ad models that today’s brands truly want. With insights from leading marketers, platforms, and measurement experts, we’ll explore what’s driving — and holding back — CTV adoption in India.
Join us for a power-packed day of ideas, insights, and bold discussions. From platform innovations and cross-channel orchestration to candid debates on measurement and monetization, discover what’s next for Connected TV in one of the country’s most influential media markets.
