Testimonials

"The experience was very good with the different colleagues who are working in different industries as well with different experiences and different backgrounds. We were sharing different aspects related to innovation, artificial intelligence, etc. So very good. I think one of the main concepts is innovation and how we are doing innovation in our businesses and also how we are applying new technologies and artificial intelligence across our business in order to improve our efficiency and improve our customer experience."

"Exito media have always introduced businesses to each other in a forward-looking manner, making sure that we see the future better, improving our vision and the way we see things through successful conferences that they hold and I'm very proud to be a member of this conference this year here as a participant and as a speaker. So as a participant I've learned a lot from my fellow colleague and other organizations whether they are of the same industry or different industries."

"I think what the summit has done well is get together leaders from different industries. The summit has done well in terms of bringing together people, diverse perspectives from different industries, the thought leaders from different industries, which is very important, and of course, you have this networking sessions where you get to meet different people. So I am particularly excited about all this new technology, which has the power, like I said in my keynote, to transform organizations and solve real customer problems."

"I think this event is a perfect platform for digital and tech professionals in the region. I'm sure it's going to propel the opportunities to learn to test and explore different types of emerging technologies as well as practical digital transformation tools, and I believe this platform will bring a lot of value to the industry of any sort where digital transformation is relevant. This type of platform is very valuable when it comes to engaging with different peers in the market with different professionals in digital and tech, and thank you so much for this type of opportunity."

"Qatar is a really big market, and we are trying to expand our software in this region, and we decided to sponsor the digital summit for this 40th anniversary to keep growing to meet new people and new leads as well. So, in terms of ROI, we met a lot of people today in different type of industries and different types of C levels. It was really helpful. It was great. It was a great event and we will definitely come back next year."

"We had a very successful event the last time this event was run in Abu Dhabi, and we decided to join our team in Qatar to help with their business generation around exclaimer Renco and the modern workplace practice overall. So the connections have been fantastic as last time, and we've had some very interesting conversations around the modern workplace in general, and we've been meeting decision makers across the region and in Qatar. So that's been a real benefit and really what we expected."

"I think really it was a great session today. I think AI is the most top technology that everybody is talking about nowadays, but to have an AI, I think we need to think about we need to have proper data in place; data analytics is very important, so if we are having a good quality of data, we can run the AI on top of it. Each one has different experience with technology and hearing how they are using these technologies in their environment and in their domain."
