Thank You All For Making Magento Meetup Dubai Successful

First off, we would like to give a huge shout-out to all the attendees of the very first “Magento Meetup Dubai” because without your active participation, this event couldn’t have been this successful.

Arpatech is now officially the first company to host a Magento Meetup in Dubai, and we are overwhelmed with the immense appreciation and positive feedbacks that we have received from the ecommerce community along with the tech community around the world.

Now, before we delve into details, let us first explain the reason that what actually compelled us to organize an event of such magnitude in Dubai. Well, the reason was fairly simple. We realized that there was a huge gap between the ecommerce community in Dubai- specifically in Magento. And as Dubai is one of the rising business cities in the world, the ecommerce industry simply couldn’t be ignored.

As Meetup is a great way to build communities, so we invited Magento developers and related key figures in the ecommerce industry to share their knowledge with each other and make meaningful connections that can be productive for everyone.
