On top of the smaller local meetups, we were excited to take part in some of the bigger scenes. Here is a little retrospect on the recent interesting events and an open invitation to another upcoming conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Slush Singapore<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This year was the third edition of the huge tech event in Singapore. We partnered together with a bunch of big names from the industry to join the exhibitors for the second time in Slush Singapore. The main event was held on September 14th along with a full schedule of interesting pre-events and parties. We met with a bunch of delegates attending the event, had a ton of interesting conversations, and got to connect with many new people. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/upcloud.com\/media\/slush_singapore_2018_swag2.jpg\" alt=\"Slush Singapore 2018 SWAG by Petri Anttila\" class=\"wp-image-10960\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Exhibiting at an event like Slush would be nothing without some swag.
