In a few hours I’ll be heading to Riyadh for the ArabNet conference to be held this coming Tuesday and Wednesday.
I’ve been asked by the organizers to sit on the internet marketing panel (Wed 10:30-11:30), if you’re there please drop by to say hello and do ask me any question.
The moderator for our discussion is Sultan M. Al-Malik, Director General of Public Relation & Media, CITC – Communication and Information Technology Commission
- Myself (as CSO of Sandstorm Digital)
- Bassam Al Hakim, Director, Business Development, Ethos Interactive
- Omar AlShoubaki, General Manager of Online Media & Digital Marketing, EmailCiti
It should be quite an informative and useful event, especially if you’re interested in learning more about the latest internet/digital marketing trends, techniques and tools.
If you’re not attending and would still like me to address some points, please post your questions in the comments below or @Me with the designated ArabNet #Hashtag.
