He said around 800 people from the Valley will participate in the event - 'G|Kashmir' - which will be held on November 3 at SK International Convention Centre here.

"We had online bookings for the event and we closed it today," Usman said.

A first-of-its-kind event in Kashmir, 'G|Kashmir' will provide students, businesses, marketing executives, techies, developers, entrepreneurs, and Internet enthusiasts a chance to engage directly with the 'latest and greatest' from Google.

The event will provide training on using digital tools to spur technology innovation, business and entrepreneurship in Kashmir," Usman said.
