What impact do you see social distancing and COVID-19 safeguards can have on this year’s Gitex?
For sure, the organisers had to re-think how to prepare the event but we are confident in them and the city of Dubai. Meetings at the booth will face some limitations, but otherwise, we are certain that it will bring great and much needed human interactions. We live in a new world but luckily we have adapted quicker and are ready to get the best out of our participation at Gitex.

What do you expect to gain from the show?
We had a successful Gitex last year and our objectives remain similar this year too. Quality leads and relationship building remain the core objectives. We would like to continue enhancing our brand visibility and our position as an industry leader. We would also like to educate the audiences, participants and public at large about this important topic.
