“If we go back to our houses and start working on Monday, try to remember this moment, as it is very important that we do so. It’s the feeling of achieving something together. You tried to get the ball to the other side of the net, and you achieved that. That is the kind of achievement I want us to have. It doesn’t have to be about closing a big deal—it’s about working together and making it to the other side of the net.” said Tomohiro Hosono, CEO at dataSpring.

Beyond structured activities, attendees also had the opportunity to explore the beauty of Cebu, from its pristine beaches to its rich cultural heritage.
