When and where?

Monday 17th – Tuesday 18th April in Singapore.

Why Singapore? Asia is the world’s growth engine (half the world’s population) and the source of many new ideas and ways of doing things. Its central location makes it a relatively short and easy journey and there are direct flights from most major world cities. It’s also a lovely place to visit with beautiful hotels, gardens, history and fantastic food. For anyone who wants to stay longer, it’s a short hop to paradise destinations like Bali, Malaysia, Vietnam and Thailand.

Who should attend?

Owners and senior management of leading independent agencies from all communications disciplines – creative, media, PR and all forms of digital communication.

Why should you come?

Three reasons:

Connect – with agency leaders facing similar challenges and opportunities as you. Agency leaders who meet at our Summits often end up working together on international assignments, or collaborating in Thought Leadership groups (like our 2021 “Sustainability Group.”)

Learn – get up to speed with the latest trends and developments in our industry – and the skills you need today, to stay competitive. Pricing, scoping, winning new business, increasing profitability and performance, attracting and retaining talent, improving and measuring performance.

Trade – with other agencies of course, but also other stakeholders in the communications ecosystem who provide practical consultancy, coaching, training, and resources – especially designed for independent agencies.

New for 2023

Better value for money: a much reduced cost per delegate compared to previous Indie Summits in 2016-2019.

Less keynotes, more interaction – small scale curated dinners rather than one big gala event (though we will have a cocktail party for all) plus new features like speed dating and special interest breakouts.

Speakers

The Indie Summit is known for always having a diverse and super talented line-up of speakers – and this year is no different. CLICK HERE for our full list of speakers.

Where can I stay?

Singapore is well known for its luxury hotels and we have selected a great one for The Indie Summit 2023.

With downtown Singapore and Chinatown on the doorstep, the PARKROYAL COLLECTION Pickering Hotel is an eco-friendly, garden oasis located in central Singapore.

The hotel, designed by the world-famous WOHA firm of architects, is conceived with the best principles of ecology and sustainability, as the “Hotel in a Garden” – with 15,000 square meters of lush gardens, waterfalls and planter terraces. Here’s what Forbes has to say.
