Kolkata to host India Twitter Conference for the first time

After a rolling success of the first India Twitter Conference (@IndiaTC) and the positive response from the attendees, India TC is now set to make its presence felt in Kolkata. The second India Twitter Conference is all set to be hosted in Kolkata on Saturday, May 8. With an urge to continue the trend of presenting before the people the impact of Twitter on Indian society, the upcoming conference seeks to find an answer to a pertinent question - Can Twitter change the way India works?

Taking clue from the first conference in Delhi where the eminent panelists put forward their observations on the topic of discussion, "Is Twitter Indian in Character?", this time IndiaTC will foray into another facet of Twitter. Organised by Twitsnaps (@TwitSnaps), a photo-sharing application on Twitter, the second India TC aims at finding out the real utility of this increasingly popular tool of communication.

With a steady penetration of Twitter in Indian social life and the increasing participation in this domain, people are now forced to think how this social networking site is actually helping their cause. Be it the current affairs or the spate of controversies that surround Indian politics, Twitter has evolved into a hotbed for discussion. Starting from breaking news to offering movie reviews Twitter has been playing a multi-faceted role engaging wider spectrum of people in the community.

The much awaited second IndiaTC will start off with a panel discussion presented by the eminent panelists from different walks of life. Mr Simarprit Singh, founder of TwitSnaps.com, will also be present during the event to share his observations on the chosen issue. The panel discussion will be followed by an interactive session where the attendees will raise questions, ponder and brainstorm to find out the answer.
