So before the event, the DevGate team organized everything to ensure that we made the most of our time at ITCN Asia. It included designing and building an eye-catching booth that showcased our products and services, preparing marketing materials like brochures and booklets, and training staff members to engage with attendees and answer questions.

One of the major highlights of the event was meeting other industry professionals. We got along with other IT teams from different cities to exchange ideas and practical knowledge. We were able to know what other businesses are working in the market. We also identified gaps that we can work on later on. We also had the opportunity to view their portfolios, asked for demos of their products, and learned about the most recent trends and advancements in the IT sector.
