# Team APPICS in Dubai 
This month, part of our team travelled to DUBAI to attend two different FinTech conferences. 
Dubai is an amazingly futuristic city, that is one step ahead in many areas of modern technology and science. It has become a metropolis for Entrepreneurs and tech enthusiasts from all over the world! 

## Finovate Middle East 2018
The first conference to attend was ***Finovate*** Middle East. 
When @mrs.steemit was on stage representing APPICS, @lisadang and our CTO Chris were behind the scenes and at the booth, while @thehipsterguru made sure to capture every moment on camera. 


## <center>Day 1 - Preparations & Rehearsal</center>

## <center> Day 2 - Presentation</center>
They actually didn't allow any slides, so Uma was doing a live demonstration of an APPICS clickdummy app on stage!
#### [Click here to get a massive sneak peek into our app and take a look at the full presentation.](https://www.facebook.com/appics.official/videos/1005074986322523/)

### Our presentation was actually awarded with one of the main prices of the whole event!
Conference attendees were able to vote for their favorite presentations with an app - and it seems like APPICS really impressed them. Thank you!

## World Blockchain & Token Summit
The 2nd conference we attended was the *World Blockchain & Token Summit* where APPICS was one of the gold sponsors. 

#### At this 2nd conference, we actually won a price for our presentation as well!
We didn't expect this at all, but at both events we attended, we received one of the main prices. Thank you for the support, we appreciate it!
