Gitex Dubai - 2023

Hi Everyone,

I'm prospecting into SaaS companies in the Middle East with an ARR >$3M.

Has anyone attended Gitex Dubai before? I see a bunch of different tickets and days. Does anybody have tips on which days and sort of tickets I should book to speak to as many relevant companies as possible?

A huge thanks for all the tips and tricks I already got from the WR by the way!

Damn that’s just what I’m missing. And my company is not a big spender when it comes to expenses 😑

No experience with this specific event, but there are quite a few posts with advice here about how to maximize time at conferences that might be helpful. I recommend searching for some of those for some pointers.

Have a great time! Best I can say is put yourself out there, and look for events you can attend in order to network even more. (and many are catered so you can keep your boss at bay!)

Negative, but I'd love to hit up Dubai on someone else's dime.

Hey Gitex is one of the biggest expos too big for its own good imo.
Get comfy shoes and make sure to have a booth or have the meetings booked in advance because the space is huge. Plan the walking commute to and from the meetings so have like a 15min buffer between meetings

Great venue and a lot of distractions so stay focused
