Testimonials

There's a lot of diversity in terms of the groups, in terms of the panels and I really like the topics that have been presented so far. Well, I think now is a really good time, especially since that both there's a public initiative for digital transformation to happen within the industry and within the government and then the private companies are starting to also realize the potential that technology has. So it's a good opportunity and a good time for both public and private to go through their digital transformation journey.
Brankas
Head of Business Development - Core Products from Brankas
I find the event very relevant and timely, specifically for the Philippines and likewise for global clients as well. The speed networking was a great opportunity we participated in that. It was quick, but I find it an awesome opportunity for our company specifically to talk to different delegates, not just private people from various companies, but also from representatives from the government. So, yeah, it was a good experience.
stratpoint
Marketing Director from Stratpoint
The event was very pleasant and surprised of the quality of the attendees and conversations and actually the presentations as well. I was able to speak with a couple of prospects who were quite interested in the solution we were offering, so appreciate the organizers for setting those meetings up. I think overall, again, as I said earlier, it really surprised me how good the event I was able to speak with a couple of prospects who were quite interested in the solution we were offering, so appreciate the organizers for setting those meetings up.
outsystems
Country Manager from Outsystems
So I've been with a couple of events, but then again, this event really stands out. There are a lot of potential opportunities that we have gathered, and the organizers, they are very approachable and they make sure that everything is in place. With regards to the speed networking, it is very helpful for us, for those customers or those partners that we haven't interacted with earlier. With the help of one is to one we are able to pitch our solutions to them, get more information if they require something from us, and just an introduction with regards of what we're offering. For me, it's very awesome and I am looking forward for more events with Exito.
