Payoneer Dhaka Forum | An Attendee's Review

 

Payoneer Dhaka Forum:


I had no idea over what would be the itinerary of the event but expected something worthy for the Freelancers/Outsourcers of Bangladesh. In this review, I would not go for commenting on invitation procedure (management) and hassles the invitees encountered! That has already been a much "talked about".

Event Inside | Event's Insight.

 My views are totally the inside program. What the event presented? Represented? How the things are managed?

Okay! I would go point by point:

Welcome Session:Welcome session by Shoyeb Mohammad and Emrazina Islam was just good with an informal tone. But the logistics at the beginning was awful. Projectors were not working. Logistic Assistance was not  standby.
  

Presentation Session: 
  •  Future of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. Considering the latest technological development, the topic was very important. The topic wisely chosen. Personally, I was impressed by the subject matter. However, the presentation by Mr. Jakir Hossian was not up to the mark. It is assumed that he was not prepared well for such the presentation. It seemed that he was just reading out the topic. There were hardly any engagement.

  • Future of Affiliate Marketing, Automation and Passive Income: Very good  subject choice. Passive income can only make the life comfortable at a certain age. Presentation by Mr. Al min Kabir was just awesome! He had the complete control over the whole audience. Attendees were totally engaged with the session. And, Mr. Al Amin Kabir was also quite successful in making the topic an 'easy grasp' through convincing conversation. WELL DONE! 
  • The Joys of Motherhood as Freelance Artist. Freelancing is an art indeed. The topic was a good choice with a view to encouraging Women Freelancers of the country. Presentation by Ms. Emrazina Islam was good in natural mode.
  • Motivation to Work as a Freelancer.  Without a positively motivated mindset, freelancers cannot produce good results. Presenter Ms. Farah Nazifa put her effort well. 
  • Importance of Understanding Local Culture for Doing Business.  Every freelancer knows it very well that understanding Client's mindset and culture plays a vital role. Discussant was Mr. Sufi Fauq Ibne Abu Bakar. The way of his story-telling was impressive. The Audience was in engagement. Effective!
  •  Healthy Ways of Selling Skillsets Online.  Presentation by Mr. Shoyeb Mohammad was quite useful. Freelancers' practical problems and ways of dealing difficulties effectively were discussed.

Question & Answer Session:  This session could have been more efficient. In this session, talks and apology by Mr Rifat Ahmed, Payoneer Bangladesh was really praiseworthy.


Overall Logistic Support:  Logistic support was not as expected. There were several instances where logistics were failed to give instant support.


Recommendation for Future Event:
  • Keeping representatives from renowned Freelancing /Outsourcing providers/ Training providers may be invited to the event to share their role and possible involvement.
  •  Successful Freelancers / Outsourcers might be given a session for Experience Sharing.
  • An interaction session (not Q/A) may be kept for networking and socialization.

Impression: GOOD inside; Clumsy Outside.
