Digital marketing is changing faster than ever. AI is becoming part of everyday marketing, consumer behaviour is evolving, and startups are finding new ways to reach customers without spending a fortune.
And there couldn’t be a better time to bring Hyderabad’s marketing community together.
The 14th Annual Digital Marketing Summit, organised by iDoneSEO, returns on 28 November 2026 at CIE, IIIT Hyderabad, Gachibowli, bringing together startup founders, marketers, agency professionals and growth leaders for a day of learning, conversations and networking.
Having grown into a familiar gathering for Hyderabad’s digital marketing community over the past 14 years, the summit has always been about bringing people together to exchange ideas and learn from real experiences.
This year, the conversations are particularly relevant.
Artificial intelligence is changing the way marketing teams create content, manage campaigns, understand customers and measure results. But beyond the tools, businesses are also rethinking how they build relationships with their audiences.
Two panel discussions will explore these shifts.
“The AI Native Marketer”, moderated by Sairam Vedam, Chief Marketing Officer at QualityKiosk Technologies, will feature Kiran Babu (Rava AI), Dr. Subhendu Pattnaik (Covasant) and Ketan Pathki (WYC). The discussion will focus on how AI is reshaping marketing teams, workflows and growth strategies.
The second panel, “The New Consumer Journey”, moderated by Amarnath Jan (NeoGreens), brings together Pranav Bonigi (AI Marketing Lab), Krishna Priya Akella (Starbuzz.ai) and Bhargava Krishna Marripati (SellerScale) to discuss how social media, creators, influencers and changing buying behaviour are influencing marketing decisions.
Beyond the panels, the summit will feature practical sessions by Teja Undavalli, Chandana Punna and SaiKiran Gunda, covering advertising that converts, founder-led marketing and community-driven growth.
One interesting addition is the five live AI and SaaS product presentations, where startups and product teams will showcase tools designed to make marketing and business growth more effective.
For Hyderabad’s startup founders, this is particularly useful. Building a good product is only half the journey. Finding customers, earning their trust and creating sustainable growth are equally important.
And sometimes, the most useful learning happens away from the stage.
A conversation over coffee, an introduction to another founder or meeting someone who has already solved a similar marketing challenge can be just as valuable as a keynote.
That’s what makes community events like the Digital Marketing Summit worth attending.
The summit will take place on Saturday, 28 November 2026, from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM at CIE, Vindhya Block, IIIT Hyderabad, Gachibowli.
For founders, marketers and anyone interested in how AI is shaping the future of marketing, it promises to be a useful day of ideas, connections and practical learning.
