It is designed as a contemporary meeting ground for the creative community, where entertainment, fashion, media, business, music, culture and innovation naturally intersect. A place where established voices and emerging talent alike can engage openly, collaborate organically and build relationships that may inspire the future.<br \/>\nThe idea is not to create another industry event, but rather to curate an atmosphere and community people genuinely want to be part of, one that encourages thought, creativity, networking and cultural exchange without pressure or pretence. Somewhere conversations can flow as naturally as the environment itself.<br \/>\nIIFA has always believed in building bridges through cinema and culture, and IIFA Connex is an extension of that philosophy in a more intimate, progressive and contemporary format. We want it to evolve into a recurring hub for creative thinking, collaboration and connection across industries, while still feeling warm, enjoyable, relaxed and socially engaging for everyone who walks into the room.\u201d<br \/>\nStay tuned for more updates and details<br \/>\n\u2022 Website https:\/\/www.iifa.com<br \/>\n\u2022 Instagram https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/iifa\/?hl=en<br \/>\n\u2022 Facebook https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/IIFA\/<br \/>\n\u2022 YouTube https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/IIFA<br \/>\nFor MEDIA queries, please contact:<br \/>\nArchana Pradhan |Archana.pradhan@iifa.com |iifa.festivalpr@iifa.com |<\/p>\n<p>By Tarachandra Roy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; IIFA CONNEX RETURNS WITH EDITION 2 EXPLORING THE FUTURE OF ENTERTAINMENT!
