The React Summit drew an impressive crowd of 1600 attendees from across Europe, providing opportunities to engage with some of the finest minds in the industry. Attendees filled the rooms and visited vendors to learn more, and connect over common goals. Rapyd offered attendees exclusive swag such as branded socks and coffee cups in exchange for creating a Client Portal account. Rapyd also offered an opportunity to participate in a coding challenge, which involved creating a checkout page using Rapyd's API. Participants had a chance to win an extraordinary trip to Rapyd's cutting-edge R&D centers in Tel Aviv or Dubai.
