GGate Conf, Tbilisi — how it went for us
Tbilisi knows how to throw a proper event — energy, real people, straight-up conversations. That’s exactly what GGate Conf delivered, and Betatransfer wasn’t just watching from the sidelines — we came in as the top payment sponsor.
Forget the typical stand — we went for a branded photo zone, and it paid off big time. Non-stop selfies, chats, new faces — the place was buzzing.
It was also the first big industry trip for our new Business Development Manager, Sofia Husakova. New team, new market, big conference — zero warm-up, straight into the action.
We grabbed Sonya for a quick debrief on how it all went.
— Sofia, your first gig with Betatransfer — how did it go?
Sofia Husakova, BDM Betatransfer
Honestly? It wasn’t a walk in the park — but I loved it. GGate Conf is all about cutting through the small talk — you meet, you connect, you get real insights.
The photo zone? Genius icebreaker. People loved it, and so did we. I think we made the right kind of noise.
— What are clients asking for these days?
Sofia Husakova, BDM Betatransfer
Speed and simplicity — that’s the deal. Local payments, crypto, reliable set-ups tailored to the region.
That’s exactly our game — fast integrations, proper support, and no-nonsense solutions.
— What surprised you most?
Sofia Husakova, BDM Betatransfer
The number of fresh, ambitious teams entering the market. Everyone’s looking for partners, scalable tools, real support.
Also, the vibe — super easy to connect, no barriers, no formalities.
— What stuck with you personally?
Sofia Husakova, BDM Betatransfer
Definitely the photo zone (laughs). Simple idea, but it became the heart of the whole space. People meet, joke, snap pics — and suddenly you’re talking business.
And of course, Tbilisi itself — such a warm, buzzing city, perfect for this kind of event.
— Where can people catch you and Betatransfer next?
Sofia Husakova, BDM Betatransfer
Next stops — SBC Lisbon and SIGMA Rome. We’ll be there with our stand, new products, ready to talk.
But no need to wait — I’m always a message away on Telegram.
