Mumbai: Goafest 2026 has unveiled a line-up of 13 Masterclasses aimed at driving learning, upskilling and real-world application across the marketing, media and advertising ecosystem. Scheduled across two days, the initiative brings together industry experts, academic institutions, global platforms and technology leaders to equip delegates with practical insights into the rapidly evolving communications landscape.
As artificial intelligence, creator-led ecosystems, changing consumer behaviour and new storytelling formats continue to reshape the industry, the Masterclasses at Goafest 2026 will focus on helping professionals rethink creativity, strategy and execution for the future. The sessions are designed to bridge the gap between inspiration and implementation by offering hands-on learning experiences led by practitioners and thought leaders.
The festival has partnered with several leading institutions and organisations including LIONS WARC, MICA, Asian Federation of Advertising Associations, Market Research Society of India and Whistling Woods International to support the learning initiative.
Technology and media platforms including LinkedIn, Spotify Advertising, Google, JioHotstar and PrsmX by Mobavenue, along with service partners MediaKart and White Rivers Media, will also conduct specialised sessions focused on leveraging emerging technologies and evolving media opportunities.
The Masterclasses will cover a broad range of themes influencing the future of marketing and entertainment, including AI-driven filmmaking, creator communities, consumer psychology, platform storytelling, audio-first creativity, social culture and omnichannel brand building. The sessions aim to provide delegates with direct access to industry practitioners through focused, high-value interactions.
With the expanded learning agenda, Goafest 2026 is positioning itself as a platform for continuous learning, cross-industry collaboration and meaningful dialogue around the future of the business.
