Sohaib Thiab – The Story of an Internet Entrepreneur

Arabnet 2010 was indeed one of the largest internet related events that took place in the region, with more than 600+ attendees and 10,000+ tweets which made the event trend globally on Twitter in the 4th place.

The event took place on the 25th and the 26th of March, 10 startups were highlighted in the event and 10 of them were appraoched by angel investors and VC’s, I am very excited that events such as this are now taking place in the region giving entrepreneurs a great venue to present their ideas and startup companies to investors on a large scale.

There were a number of panels in the event, day 2 included the gaming panel where Wizards Productions was part of that panel represented by my colleague Afif Toukan, I was supposed to attend the event but sadly I caught a bad case of flue before the event.

Speakers at the event included Wael Ghonim, Head of Marketing – MENA  at Google, Ghassan Haddad, Director of Internationalization, Facebook, Rabea Ataya, CEO, Bayt.com, Essam Al-Zamel, CEO, Remal IT, Rashid Al Ballaa, CEO of N2Ventures and many others, you can check out the full list at the speaker page.

I should be adding some photos of the event later on when Afif or Hussam get to the office, meanwhile you should follow @arabnetme on Twitter to stay updated about the future events.
