Planning to attend a summit in UK from 17-18th of October from India
I have gotten an invitation e-mail from Google to attend a summit, but there is no invitation letter provided by them. Please suggest the best way to obtain a visa.
Is it possible to get a visa with just an e-mail confirmation for the Summit, flight tickets and a hotel booking?
Please let me know possible solutions; it is very important for me to attend the event.

Documentation requirements are detailed by GOV.UK where the only mention of email is to specify that travel booking confirmation (can be email or copy of tickets). Otherwise the requirement is All documents must be originals and not photocopies and there are several references to letter.
emails are never anywhere normally accepted as original since so easy to replicate without any indication of whether original or copy, and so easy to forge.
However, IF your activity is covered by a Standard Visitor visa's conditions then you don't need an invitation.
