This is an post-event-update to the announcement posted earlier at http://preetam.net/vietnam-conversations-on-technology-scene-eve

Thanks to all you folks who came by for our friends Mario and Hong Phuc’s presentation on the Vietnamese IT scene. One point they made strongly was that having a local partner would ease a lot of pain, right from registering your company to collecting market data. Hong Phuc talked about her method of working with local universities and government agencies to gather customer data.

Both our presenters are very active in running technology, open-source and design events in Vientam and they invited us to join the upcoming OpenDesignAsia event in Saigon. http://opendesign.asia/
