Have you ever been to a totally chilled-out entertainment event where everyone who loves movies, TV shows, and digital creations gather for 3 days to listen to people from these industries speaking about it in a serious way? That’s what FICCI Frames is all about. This year’s edition is themed ‘Reflections. Realities. Road Ahead’ and happens March 5-7 at the Hotel Westin, Powai, Mumbai. Yes, it’s that time of the year again.
Conferences happen in the ball rooms throughout the day. At any one time, more than one conference takes place, so one has the choice to enter any room and listen to the industry leaders on the podium talking about the latest trends and sharing insights on the ever-evolving world of media and entertainment.
Every year, I meet a lot of new interesting people here at this awesome entertainment event. It’s also a convenient time and place to meet people you’ve met in the previous editions. Because, like me, many who come once, come again and again. I also get a chance to go up to film and TV stars, talk to them, and click pics with them.
