MG Parameswaran, chairman, Goafest 2013 Knowledge Seminars, said, "We plan to have a really varied set of speakers this year. The second set of names cover a wide knowledge net, from creative to digital to films to strategy. We have a few more names in our list and those will be released next week. So the excitement of Goafest 2013 is going to reach a new level."

On the line up of speakers, Nakul Chopra, chairman, Goafest 2013, said, "This is an enviable line up of speakers. Indeed they represent the best by global standards across disciplines. Listening to them will be a great learning opportunity for all of us - especially for the young minds from both the advertising and marketing fraternity."

The Goafest Committee had earlier released the first list of speakers: Shiv Singh, global head of digital, PepsiCo Beverages; Thomas Bernardin, chairman and director, Leo Burnett Worldwide; Mark Tutssel, chief creative officer, Leo Burnett Worldwide; and Nick Vale, global planning director, Maxus Worldwide.
