An Unforgettable Experience at the Bitdefender APAC Partner Conference in Phuket

by Vivien Chong

The Bitdefender APAC Partner Conference, held in the beautiful tropical paradise of Phuket in April 2025, was nothing short of extraordinary. This experience was a remarkable opportunity to learn, connect with fellow partners from across the APAC region, and meet the Bitdefender APAC team for the first time. Here’s a glimpse into the memorable three-day event filled with learning, networking, and a touch of adventure.

A Magical Evening by the Beach

The conference kicked off with a stunning beachside dinner. The ambiance was perfect, with a live band setting the mood and a captivating fire show illuminating the night. This setting provided a relaxed atmosphere for us to connect with peers and the Bitdefender team. Conversations flowed as freely as the ocean breeze, and the sense of camaraderie was palpable.

A Full Day of Learning and Innovation

Day two was dedicated to learning, and it was truly enlightening. The sessions showcased Bitdefender's cutting-edge capabilities in cybersecurity, leaving us in awe of the advancements and innovations. The knowledge we gained was invaluable, and I am eager to bring these enhanced cybersecurity services back to our clients, ensuring they are protected with the best solutions available.

Shaking Things Up with Mixology

As the day of learning wound down, the evening brought a delightful mixology session. Guided by a skilled bartender, we learned to craft both cocktails and mocktails. It was a fun and engaging experience, complete with a friendly competition to see who could create the best drink. Laughter and creativity filled the room as everyone showcased their newfound skills.

A Night of Celebration and Recognition

The night concluded with a grand gala dinner featuring exquisite Thai cuisine and a mesmerizing Thai cultural performance. It was also the night for the award presentations. We were there to enjoy the evening and celebrate the success of others, never expecting to hear our name. Imagine our surprise and delight when "57Network Consultancy Sdn Bhd" was announced as one of the recipients of the Rising Star Partner 2024 award! It was an incredible honor, and our team was overjoyed that our efforts had been recognized.

An Adventurous Finale with an ATV Excursion

The final day of the conference was reserved for adventure. We embarked on an exhilarating ATV excursion, which was a first for many of us, including myself. The thrill of navigating through the rugged terrain was a perfect end to an unforgettable event, leaving us with lasting memories and a sense of achievement.

Until Next Time, Phuket and Bitdefender

As the conference came to a close, I reflected on the incredible experiences and connections made over the past few days. Phuket has left a lasting impression, and I am eager to return. Bitdefender has inspired us with their innovations and support, and our team is motivated to return with even greater achievements. Until next time, Phuket and Bitdefender!
