Aarki Events Round-Up: What Happened During the Second Quarter of 2021?


Aarki Second Quarter Events Recap of Sponsored and Hosted Events Webinars

As countries all over the world continue to rise above the pandemic, the need and desire to attend events become stronger. And we are not an exception! Many of the events we attended and sponsored remained virtual, but there are opportunities surfacing for in-person gatherings.

This past few months, one thing has been at the forefront of all mobile marketers’ minds - Apple iOS 14.5 privacy update. It has been a key topic in seminars recently and our team was grateful for the opportunities to share our thoughts and insights on the topic at several events that we were part of.

Here’s a round-up of the events that we sponsored and hosted for the second quarter:

White Nights China Online & Shanghai Offline

White Nights’ first-ever event in Asia happened in China between April 26th and May 14th at the Shanghai Marriott Hotel Parkview. This hybrid event was a mix of fun and informative sessions. It was a two-day in-person event in Shanghai, with live and online sessions available on their WN Hub platform. The event was an exciting experience for us as we met with many industry professionals.
