We have embraced the new normal and made new habits. SPECTRA has become one such habit – A superlative online event organised by a group of four individuals working from home for those viewing from home. Where over 1000 delegates from around the world with majority based in India log in, over three days to learn from some of the best minds.
This edition, like the first one has two segments: SPECTRA Prime and SPECTRA Plus. The former has a dozen global leaders sharing insights on the first two days on the theme Communicating for a New World. The latter consists of six panels on Day three, inspired by the concept of RESET which you will read about later in this note.
It has been a difficult year, no doubt. But 2020 taught us to an extent, how to deal with 2021. We have all gone through various levels of hardships and have lived to tell the tale. This year at SPECTRA we have the following keynote speakers. *All names appear in alphabetical order.
