Announcing a series of global virtual events
If this is our new reality! Humanity must prevail.
Ejad Labs is driven by bringing people together and we have been doing this for the past 3 years. One of our key programs has been to organize the largest Pakistani tech delegations to Silicon Valley and Europe, not only to expose the best of Pakistani digital leaders to curated key events /conferences but also tp promote Pakistani technology inside and outside Pakistan by organizing events across major tech hubs of the world.
In February, we brought the largest ever Pakistani delegation to Silicon Valley and organized the first annual Pakistan Tech Summit 2020. We were extremely blessed to make this happen this year as all major tech events have been canceled since.
Though we’re all facing a tough time, we’re in it together.
