The Brand Vision Summit has fast earned a great reputation. The summit was extremely enriching for us, as we got to exchange our ideas with other winners, with whom we rarely get to share the stage. It has already triggered thoughts for greater things. This is precisely why these platforms are so crucial, because they aid knowledge-transfer and promote a culture of dialogue. This honor puts a lot of responsibility on us to continue doing a great job and it’s the best motivation we could’ve asked for!”

As the winners beamed with their trophies, the elite gathering celebrated with ITC’s famed signature dishes and cocktails.
