For the few thousand-odd people who thronged to Goa for the annual advertising festival organised by the AAAI and Advertising Club, it was a time for camaraderie, inspiration, learning, entertainment and a hell of a lot of fun.
For organisers, journalists and some of the sponsors trying to max returns, it was a hell of a lot of hard work, but a memorable exercise working in teams with richly deserved breaks in between.
For the ones looking to poach talent, it was a congregation well worth attending, one hears.
For jurors, speakers and seniors who helped put different elements of the conference and awards together, it was an opportunity to give back.
The ones who went with an open mind had a lot to take away.
Here are some snapshots from attendees and organisers themselves, as registered on Twitter.
Always a good feeling to give back to the industry in whatever way we can.
