In terms of the way the event has been designed, the kind of speakers that presented, the entire structure and format, I think it’s fantastic. Because you have taken an issue or space that is up coming and a region that is up and coming - we have seen a lot of traction happen in the Middle East over the last few years, so it’s really a sunrise sector here, and you have got the best of thought-...

I have been surprised to see the number of people here, it's very impressive I must say and also people are very open, very keen to understand stuff. I must say the questions in general were very relevant, very accurate and they pointed out the real challenges around Big Data. I'm very surprised and very happy to be here.

Didier Mama

It is very useful. This Summit gathers a lot of people, I can see more than 300 participants coming from different regions, from the Middle East, probably from Europe as well. There's a lot of opportunity to network with people and to get to know what sort of experience has been implemented in Big Data in different areas of the world. I think the Summit is just astonishing.
