321 Gang was among the select group of GitLab partners that was invited to the GitLab Partner Summit in New York City in June. The 321 Gang team was thrilled to participate in this event, eagerly looking forward to gaining insights into the latest developments in DevSecOps and GitLab’s future plans.
Throughout the summit, we heard from numerous GitLab executives, who provided valuable perspectives on industry trends, sales and marketing strategies, customer support, and technical implementation activities. Additionally, the occasion presented ample networking opportunities, enabling us to engage with fellow partners and gain valuable knowledge from their experiences with GitLab.
Armed with the knowledge acquired at the summit, we are enthusiastic about implementing improvements to our own GitLab practices, thereby enhancing our ability to serve our clients effectively.
We would like to thank GitLab for extending the invitation to the Partner Summit. We look forward to future events where we can continue to deepen our knowledge and leverage our learnings to enhance our DevSecOps practices and contribute to our client’s success in achieving their business objectives.
