India Mobile Congress (IMC) will take place between December 8 to 10. The fourth edition of the annual event will be hosted virtually this year owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, and it will witness over 50 participating countries along with over 110 global speakers and start-ups generating over 30 hours of content in the span of three days. Notably, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the fourth edition of the event tomorrow. The title theme of IMC 2020 is ‘Inclusive Innovation – Smart, Secure and Sustainable’ that aligns with PM Modi’s Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiative (self-reliant India).
The event is jointly organised by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) and Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI). According to the organisers, the IMC 2020 conference sessions will address “industry-defining” topics revolving around 5G, Intelligent Edge, immersive world, privacy and ethics, autonomous things, smart spaces, augmented analytics, inventive unicorns, and health and future logistics. Additionally, notable leaders who are going to be present during the inaugural event include Reliance Industries Limited Chairman Mukesh Ambani, Bharti Group founder Sunil Bharti Mittal, Telecom Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad, and Minister of State for Communications and IT Sanjay Dhotre. Participants and organisations can register for the event via the IMC website.
