Cricket versus conference

The 2015 edition of the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry's annual conference on media and entertainment, Frames, seems to be plagued by hurdles. While the delay in organising and confirming panellists has meant that the schedule keeps changing, there is apprehension among the organisers about the attendance on March 26. The second day of the three-day conference coincides with the India-Australia World Cup semi-final match and people might just give the panel discussions a miss in order to cheer the defending champions. The saving grace may be the television screens that are expected to be installed at the venue to telecast the match or some parts of it.
