Testimonials
This event is definitely a great platform for us to enter the Indonesian market and I do see great success in terms of customer experience. It does give us confidence in both Exito as well as the Indonesian market. For Speed Networking, It is great. It allows us to interact with customers one-to-one and provide intimacy with the customers with regards to the needs and requirements of the market and how we can address them.
The event was good. Very compact and good crowd, good though exchange, great speakers, excellent presentations and good communications. I think the event size was kept at senior levels and good engagement. Speed Networking and one-to-one meeting has been great. it is good to have 5 minutes discussions with various stakeholders. The event was well-organised and the key feature was great content and have a frank discussion with people.
Overall the event is really good because we can get close to the customer and interact with many people personally one0to-one. The speed networking was a good idea as I got to know face-to-face as to what the customer need. It is different from the event we ave been before. Very simple and we can discuss with them personally. It was a good experience for us.
I found the concept of speed networking pretty good. It allows a lot of people to connect with your team members and divert them to our demo booth station. All in all It was a very innovative concept. Overall the event experience was fairly good. I am pretty pleased with how things shaped up.
