New events: Global DevSlam and X-VERSE
Two new events are also planned for launch this year: Global DevSlam, and X-VERSE. Both events sold out within two months.
Global DevSlam is the largest ever coder and developer meet-up to take place in the Middle East and focuses on advancing the digital economy and connecting industry leaders from some of the world’s largest companies including Anaconda, AWS, Red Hat, Google and Microsoft.
The event was developed to align with the UAE’s goal of building the world’s leading coder and developer ecosystem as it now offers long-term residency through a Golden Visa to 100,000 qualified coders from across the globe.
X-VERSE offers one of the world’s most immersive meta-verse journeys and provides a first-time experience of the most disruptive industry applications of the meta-verse. Exhibiting real-world case studies and virtual experiences across numerous verticals, X-VERSE empowers global enterprises to develop a deeper understanding of this transformative technology.
