Intro

The 7th edition of the India-US Forum stood as a distinguished platform, uniting leaders from both India and the United States to chart the trajectory of the enduring partnership between the two nations. This pivotal assembly, annually convened by the Ananta Centre in collaboration with the Ministry of Affairs, Government of India, took place from January 27 to 29, 2024, and served as a beacon for fostering conversation and collaboration at the highest levels.

The Forum operated under the Chatham House Rule, extending participation exclusively through invitation. Attendees comprised high-level representatives from the government, congress/parliament, industry, media, and academia. Across its six editions, the Forum had established itself as a prestigious platform, fostering the exchange of ideas and shaping the bilateral agenda for collaboration.

Problem

In anticipation of the global event, meticulous attention to detail was imperative, particularly given the prestigious guest list comprising high-profile personalities. Ananta Centre was committed to ensuring a seamless and comprehensive experience for all attendees and guests.

Addressing the challenges faced during the India-US Forum conference, the focus was on the seamless delivery of real-time information. This encompassed vital details such as the event agenda, session specifics, delegate profiles, and partner information, including precise timings for each aspect of the event. The overarching goal was to provide a cohesive and well-informed experience for everyone involved. However, connecting with high-profile personalities posed a unique challenge, as identifying potential individuals for networking proved to be a complex task.

Solution

To ensure a seamless and informative experience, a dedicated event website and a dynamic mobile app were designed by Rishiraj Media Tech Solutions. This integrated system provided convenient access to a wealth of details. On the event website, attendees found a constantly updated agenda, a personalized message from the Co-Chair, and in-depth information about the event and the delegates who participated.

The Networking Lounge feature was a dynamic platform designed to seamlessly connect attendees with industry experts and professionals, fostering collaborations, gaining valuable insights, or simply expanding professional networks. In the digital realm, the networking lounge stood out as the go-to place for cultivating meaningful connections.

To enhance attendee convenience, a dedicated segment called the "Logistics Guide” was available both on the website and mobile app. This comprehensive guide contained all the essential information related to the pre-event and during-event phases, from hotel details to the registration process. It served as a one-stop resource, especially for attendees coming from outside or within India, providing all the necessary information at their fingertips.

The India-US Forum 2024 app has been live on both Android and iOS platforms, offering a user-friendly interface and a host of features to enhance the event experience.

Conclusion

With an unwavering commitment to excellence, the India-US Forum 2024 not only brought together influential leaders but also embraced cutting-edge technology. The bespoke event website and mobile app ensured a seamless and informative experience, overcoming challenges and leaving an indelible mark on the landscape of high-profile international forums.
