Overall the Summit was a good event, especially for being the first of its kind. More than half of the speakers were excellent. I was very impressed that they got Farhan Tahir and Farah Ahmed to speak. Both of them exceeded my expectations as they mezmorized the audience. Kashif Zafar was good too. I look forward to attending the next year's Summit.
