The ArabNet Conference in Photos




--> Blog entry day 1 is here.


there may have been quite some high profile guests...

But the real stars were the young entrepreneurs...

Whose brilliant projects got some well deserved attention.

I didn't win. I stole the giant check for the photo.


Between the very interesting panel discussions... [panel on e-commerce - okay, not the most exciting one but oh well.]



Back in the conference, as Tweeters were being merciless... (Eh, free speech...)

Panel on social media

Questions from the audience

Some people were outside playing. I blame Google. (for not giving me one of their cool toys).

By coincidence, @AliDahmash and I sat next to one another - we hadn't physically met before!


The right amount of goofing with old-new friends.. (@robaassi)


Some new meetings were memorable...


And some were not.
(business card left in the conference room toilets--details were removed)

But when it was party time...

Name tags fell...


Shoes were shed...

I briefly considered stealing one of the giant lit barrels.


Samer made an appearance.


Let's boogie.


Bernard's got the moves


Shots were drank...


And no further information will be made available.

Bravo to the organizers, who organized an absolutely brilliant event. And see you all in ArabNet 2011!

The display of live tweets on giant screens (2 of them) allowed engagement from the audience never seen before... What an idea!

Lirun - yes! We were actually sitting next to one another on day 2 of the conference, believe it or not! :)
I didn't realise you two knew each other!

Fadi -
It was, quite an amazing feat.. And a great idea, indeed, truly!
