Students and volunteers from the NGO were present at the event and given an opportunity to interact with the attendees. Secondly, Cloudbazaar hosted speed networking sessions for attendees to network in a formalised manner to meet large numbers of new potential business partners in a very short period of time. Both of these were first-time initiatives and were well-received.
