Before you buy

Simple answers. Fewer reasons to drop off.

  • What does the Rs 4,999 Semiconductor Leadership Day Pass cover?

    The 30 October Semiconductor & Electronics Leadership Roundtable programme and the networking around it. The Day Pass is a direct purchase. A seat at the Roundtable table itself is curated and confirmed by the organising committee by email, so the Day Pass is not a guaranteed seat at the table.

  • Do I need to apply for the Rs 9,999 delegate pass?

    No. It is a direct purchase. Your attendee details are collected at checkout, and there is no approval step. It covers the host summit, Vibrant Goa Global Business Summit, 29 to 31 October.

  • Can a company exhibit instead of just attending?

    Yes. Stall is Rs 99,000 + GST, paid in full at checkout. The remaining balance is payable later by NEFT; the organisers share the bank details on WhatsApp after you book.

  • Do I have to be a semiconductor company to book a stall?

    No. The VGGBS expo floor is open to businesses from every industry: manufacturing, food and agri, tourism and hospitality, tech and IT, D2C brands, services, logistics and exporters. The Semiconductor & Electronics Leadership Roundtable on 30 October is a curated conversation presented as part of that platform, not a summit session or track.

  • Why are the sponsorship tiers not all listed here?

    Partnership is a higher-consideration sale and the right tier depends on your objective. The page shows the outcome, the prospectus carries the full five-tier matrix.

  • Are travel and stay included?

    No. Delegates arrange their own travel and accommodation. Late October is peak season in Goa, so book early. The hosted airport-to-airport package described in the international delegate brochure is a separate arrangement with the organisers.

  • Where can I read more before deciding?

    The international delegate brochure covers the summit, the itinerary and past editions. The sponsorship prospectus covers stalls, tiers and activations. Both are linked on this page.
