Armando 156 Report post Posted December 2, 2016 Now that winners are out let me say a big THANKS to all of you who submitted. It's been painful to decide who had to be in the first 5 as I wanted to award everybody. We even had to call it a draw between 4th and 5th place basically adding one more winner. We had lots of fun watching your videos and definitely we have been overwhelmed by the effort you all put in your videos. I mean, Bedri re-interpreted our logo and Jesus even involved his pets - Thanks guys, it's been a mix of and and . Since this contest has been this successful, who knows, we might be doing it again soon. The weather in Dubai is beautiful for another 5-6 months Costin, congrats to you, waiting for you here, your dinner is on me 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

matugm 65 Report post Posted December 2, 2016 I poured my heart & soul (and time) into my videos... If longer videos were prefered you should have been more specific (as evidenced by the winners) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Armando 156 Report post Posted December 2, 2016 Jesus The length of the video has little to do with the selection criteria. Of course the more you tell about your experience the better but definitely the length is not the only thing to take into account. Clarity, Contents, Originality and Comprehensiveness are the most important criteria. @arunthomas115 did a wonderful long video with lots of details and time put into it. Still didn't make it by very little. There must be only one winner otherwise this wouldn't be a contest. Please do not take our decision as something against you! You know we at eLS and the entire community loved your videos. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matugm 65 Report post Posted December 2, 2016 It was My fault Because I didn't have the Foresight to understand what was being requested. (You wanted an actual "review" & not just a cool testimonial video.) Sorry about that... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jasonmac 19 Report post Posted December 2, 2016 for what it's worth, @matugm, your last two videos were my favorite. My wife and I especially like the cat video! [insert inspirational sport quote here] 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

caneacsu 253 Report post Posted December 8, 2016 Hello, I wanted to follow up and publicly announce that the promised items were shipped to @tweety, see below. Now, we're waiting for Jimmy to receive the items and post a photo of his new awesome t-shirt It's my understanding that some of you expressed the desire to get eLS merchandise as well. Sorry, but I'm not authorized to open these for public commercialization. However, the eLS team is very open to suggestions and I'm sure they will take into consideration the possibility of making these available for purchase for their students. Wish you all the best ! Thank you, Costin 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

caneacsu 253 Report post Posted March 13, 2017 Hello eLS community, I'm a little late to the party, it's been about 2 months since this happened but I finally managed to get the time to put this together. What follows is a small review of my trip, where I met the eLearnSecurity Dubai team. I will not talk about my schedule, you can read all about that in the eLS blog post: https://blog.elearnsecurity.com/mission-accomplished.html . Instead I want to say a few words of the people I met during my stay there. I am honored to have met the Dubai team. They are great individuals that form a very powerful team. They are cheerful and very open, they are good communicators and with them part of the company, it's no surprise that it continues to grow at an accelerated pace. The highlight of my trip was the meeting with Armando, the founder of eLearnSecurity. It was truly a pleasure in meeting him and I was impressed with his humbleness. He's the driving force that made the company in what it is today, one of the leading security training providers, but he doesn't forget where he started from. If I had to pick a word to describe him, I wouldn't be wrong saying he's a friend. It was an amazing trip, made possible by these awesome people. Please find below a small video summary of my stay in Dubai: Thank you, eLearnSecurity ! P.S. Be sure to pay close attention, you could be the next winner ! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
