PRAXIS 2019 – Why I will be there and you should too

So, the countdown to the largest gathering of people in the reputation space has started and we are ten weeks away from PRAXIS 2019.

Wow! How time flies, it’s almost as if it was yesterday that I went to my first PRAXIS and this was the one in the heritage city of Mysore. I attended only Day 2, but there was something to it for sure! Then came the Aamby Valley in 2016, Jaipur in 2017 and Hyderabad last year! For me, every year there was something special that happened and every year I felt more at home and welcomed by the community, now I am so happy to be a part of this large extended PRAXIS family!

For me, every year was different and unique from being a newbie, to moderating a session and doing some poetry, to spending time with my peers and learning in Jaipur and getting the audience to shake a leg, to taking my mom and daughter along to the one in Hyderabad, to now being a part of PRomise Foundation as an advisor and getting to know the phenomenal work they do, I have come a long way…

Ten weeks to go, so here’s ten things you can do at PRAXIS based on my experience in the last few years:

1. Attend the keynote sessions by global senior leaders for immersive learning
2. Get all the panel action to learn from peers in the space
3. Attend the awards to see what amazing work is being done in the space and the companies doing it
4. Attend the special celebrity speaker sessions to listen and learn from their experiences
5. Get to know new people from the fraternity and network for learning and opportunities
6. Get acquainted with all the brands showcasing what they do in the pre-conference area
7. PRAXIS is an immersive experience and you always have enough to do and see and learn
8. Attend the evening gala dinners for some great musical experiences and the famous PRAXIS dance floor
9. Make new friends, meet old ones
10. Sign up and take part in the interesting morning activities that happen from runs to Zumba to history walks, there’s so much to do!

Ten reasons not to miss it this year:

1. Four global CEOs will be speaking on the various aspects of trust
2. The speakers never repeat so you get to listen to new people every year
3. The theme for this year is Trust and that’s surely something we all need as much insights we can get our hands on
4. Some amazing unconference sessions are planned this year
5. The special speaker line-up is surely not something to be missed
6. The learnings and the take-aways from the awards and nominations will be stellar
7. The music and the performances will be simply mind-blowing
8. The evening hobnobbing and the morning adventures
9. The fact that it is in the Grand Hyatt Goa this time around
10. Also, simply because it’s the biggest and the most well put together learning and networking experience overall

So, will catch you all there… If you haven’t booked already, do so now …
