What People Are Saying About Us

HR Tech Mena Summit 

We are delighted to be here today. This is our second time attending the HR Tech MENA and it’s just fantastic to be around super delegates, colleagues, friends and supporters. It’s always great at the HR TECH MENA Summit to be able to have amazingly collaborative conversations around employee engagement and employee experience initiatives that are happening within the region and how Qualtrics can potentially support them. The delegates we’re talking to are CHROs, heads of HR, business users, a plethora and widespread use cases of different conversations that we can have. So incredibly valuable in all aspects of employee experience. We’ve made fantastic connections. The connections that we have had at this event, and we see a lot more to come, a lot more business to come. So, we are very happy about that

Qualitrics Vice President & General Manager - Middle East and Emerging Markets,

It was a very professional experience. It was a very clear experience. We constantly had help and guidance if required. There are people coming to check-in on you quite frequently – have you met the right people, is there anyone you would like us to introduce you to. So, it has been a very pleasant experience so far. The quality of delegates has been good. Had some meaningful conversations that we are hoping will lead to some good business leads. Yeah sure, so I mean I see business happening in the future. I would say so far, we have had probably solid 15-20 good connections so far. The day is not fully over so I am sure there is more to come but yeah definitely good quality and I think there is good business looking forward to. Thanks. Solid 9 out of 10, very easy. Everyone has been so super helpful, and it’s been good to navigate and can’t complain

Every year the event seems to get better, the quality of delegates is really, best each year that I come. The quality of the delegates is second to none. It’s not only the quality it’s the level of interaction you get to have the delegates. In other events, usually people don’t necessarily want to come to the booth, here at HR Tech MENA they want to come and join you and have a good conversation with you at the booth. The connections I made yesterday were substantial and I see business deriving from that list of contacts from yesterday.
