ideas as well as to collaborate and conceive alliances.
A pot pourri of great ideas
The ADW 2019 Conclave presented by Skootr is a well-curated concept that
includes talk shows, workshops and investors meets. The talk shows bring
industry experts on an open forum where ideas are discussed and debated. Having
a practical hands-on session on a specific skill set is the idea behind the

investors. ADW 2019 will round off with highly entertaining after-parties at
the end of each day.
