Strike! In a new twist on the standard networking event, the first-ever XING Bowling Tournament was organized in Dubai this month by Ambassador Hamdan Mohamed. Networking while bowling is a true experience, one the participants will not soon forget! On the big day, participants were divided into eight teams, based on the first-come, first-served principle. For networkers who were meeting each other for the first time, there was an unexpected element of sportsmanship in the encounter: not only did participants get to know each other, they tried to outscore each other!

While waiting for their turn to play, networkers had plenty of opportunities to catch up with acquaintances and make new contacts. Although the official winners of the evening were Team Number One, even the non-winning teams gained a lot from the experience, in the form of new friends and contacts. In that way, all participants left the event with big smiles on their faces, determined to do it again soon.
