You’ll likely be asked to outline how you would approach building momentum for the Xsolla Club in a new market, so sketch a quick two-to-three-step plan.
Have a smart question ready about the Dubai Club’s current community roadmap, upcoming regional events or how success is measured for the MENA program. Asking about how the team uses attendee feedback to shape future activities shows you’re ready to contribute to the community’s ongoing growth.
